About
Lorenzo De Michieli is Director of Technology Transfer at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) and Coordinator of the large-scale project RAISE - Spoke 2 “Smart Devices and Technologies for Personal and Remote Healthcare” funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
From 2016 to 2024, he was Director of the IIT's Rehab Technologies Lab, a large innovation laboratory aimed at developing new prostheses, exoskeletons and rehabilitation devices with high market potential in the healthcare sector.
He received a M.S. in Physics (Material Science) in 1999, and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (Humanoid Robotics) from the University of Genoa, Italy. He also accomplished an extensive training on innovation management both in Italy at Jacobacci & Partners (Turin, IT) and abroad at the European Patent Office (The Hague, NL) and the Bergen Teknologioverføring (Bergen, N).
From 2014 to 2019 he was contract Professor at the University of Genoa - Faculty of Economics - in Collaborative Innovation and Technology Transfer.
Before joining IIT in 2008, he was research technologist at the National Institute for the Physics of Matter (INFM, Italy) from 2002 to 2006, and at the National Research Council (CNR, Italy) from 2006 to 2008, gaining an extensive experience in developing industrial alliances and managing competitive R&D projects.
