Sergio Cerutti, Emeritus Professor in Biomedical Engineering at the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering (DEIB) of the Politecnico di Milano, Italy. He has been one of the founding Members and Chair of the Department of Bioengineering, Politecnico di Milano, from 2000 to 2006. He has also been the Chairman of the Bachelor (Diploma Universitario 1996-2000) and Master Degrees in Biomedical Engineering (Corso di Laurea 2010-2012), at the same Politecnico. His research interests are mainly in the following topics: biomedical signal processing (ECG, blood pressure signal and respiration, cardiovascular variability signals, EEG and evoked potentials), medical imaging and multimodalities, cardiovascular modelling, neurosciences, regulation and standards in medical equipments and devices. Since 1983 he has taught a course at a graduate level on Advanced Biomedical Signal Processing at Engineering Faculties (Milano and Roma) as well as at Specialisation Schools of Medical Faculties (Milano and Roma). He has been Elected Member of IEEE-EMBS AdCom (Region 8) in the period 1993-1996. He spent one year (1978-1979) at MIT and Harvard School of Public Health, Cambridge USA and 3 months (y 2000) at Physics Department of IST (Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisbon, Portugal) with a NATO Fellowship and on sabbatic leave. He is actually Fellow Member of IEEE, AIMBE and EAMBES and Associate Editor of IEEE Trans BME and Physiological Measurements. He is a member of the Steering Committee of the IEEE-EMBS Summer School on Biomedical Signal Processing: he was the local organiser of four Summer Schools held at the Certosa di Pontignano, Siena. He has been Member and later on President of the Ethical Committes of IEO (European Institute of Oncology) and the Cardiological Center “Monzino”, Milano, from 2013 to 2024, as well as Member of the same Committe at the Politecnico di Milano (from 2010 to 2023). From 2002 he is also Chair of Bioengineering Committee of the Engineer Order of Milano Province and even the coordinator of all the Italian Order Commissions in Biomedical Engineering. He has been the recipient of the “IEEE-EMBS Academic Career Achievement Award” (2009) and the “Milan Ambassador Award” (2010), respectively, for his scientific and organisational activites of promoting international scientific events and conferences.
He is the author of more than 990 international scientific contributions (Google Scholar), H-Index of 81 (y 2026) with more than 59,800 citations.
