About

Marta Lagomarsino is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Human-Robot Interfaces and Interaction (HRII) Laboratory of Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia. She completed her PhD in 2023, obtaining the diploma cum Laude from the Electronic, Information and Bioengineering Department of Politecnico di Milano in collaboration with the HRII lab. She spent a semester at the University of Twente (Enschede, Netherlands), where she developed her Master's thesis within the Horizon-2020 project MURAB. She received her Master's Degree in Robotics Engineering in 2020 and her Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering in 2018, both with honours from the University of Genoa. Her work has been recognised with several awards, including Most Promising Researcher in Robotics and AI (RomeCup2023), the 2026 IEEE CIS TCDS Outstanding Paper Award, the 2025 IEEE RAS Italian Chapter Young Author Best Paper Award, and the AI and Robotics mention of the Solution Award 2025 (MECSPE2025). She has contributed to the Horizon-2020 project SOPHIA and the ERC project Ergo-Lean, and is involved in the Horizon Europe project TORNADO, the National INAIL project VIVA, INAIL BRIC grants, and technology transfer initiatives with industrial partners. She is currently an Associate Editor for IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters and co-chair of the IEEE RAS Young Reviewer Program. Her research interests include human ergonomics estimation and assessment, socio-physical human-robot interaction, and mutual human-robot adaptation.
