Loris Mendolia

I am a PhD candidate in the Neuroengineering laboratory of the Montefiore Institute of University of Liège, under the supervision of Alessio Franci and Jean-Michel Redouté.
My research focuses on the design of low-power analog neuromophic integrated circuits implementing neuromodulation mechanisms. I am particularly interested in neuromorphic control and signal processing for robotics, biomedical applications, and brain-machine interfaces.
I am currently funded by the FRIA grant from the Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research (F.R.S.-FNRS). I obtained my Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering with professional focus in Bioelectronics from the University of Liège in 2022.
