Giorgio Carpino was born in Naples (Italy) in 1983.
He received the B.S. Degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Naples "Federico II" in December 2005. His graduation thesis was entitled "The last generation lung ventilators: state-of-the-art and purchasing info".
He received the M.S. Degree Summa Cum Laude in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Naples "Federico II" in February 2008. His graduation thesis was entitled "The preservation of the CE mark for a medical device further to a maintenance process".
Since January 2009 he is a PhD Student at Campus Bio-Medico University at the Laboratory of Biomedical Robotics and Biomicrosystems, under the supervision of Prof. Eugenio Guglielmelli.
Research interests
His research programme is focused on the development of novel robotic devices for human assistance and rehabilitation, with a special focus on the relation between morphology and control. Such research is being applied to lower limbs exoskeletric robots for assisting human walking.
He is currently involved in the EC-funded Evryon Project, contributing to mechanical design via 3D CAD-based techniques for improving ergonomics and the pHRI.

Research Project
The project is about the development of a novel methodology for the design of wearable robots, based on a evolutionary-based concurrent design of robot morphology and control.
Personal contribution is in the mechanical design of the entire robot system via 3D CAD-based techniques for improving ergonomics and the physical human-robot interaction.
SIRIO (MASMEC Srl) is a computerized system for pulmonary nodular biopsy, localization and thermoablation. SIRIO uses a computerized system to immediately locate the right insertion direction employing off-line acquired CT images. This way avoids excessive patient exposing to the ionizing radiations and minimize damages due to repeated threading trials.
Personal contribution is in the approval from the Department of Health to start with the clinical trials at the Campus Bio-Medico policlinic, to monitor the clinical trials in order to evaluate the advantages/disadvantages respect to the state of the art techniques and to obtain, at the end of the clinical trials, the CE mark for the medical device.
