Professor for Robotics and Systems Theory at the Faculty of Electrical
Engineering of GH. ASACHI Technical University of Iasi since October 1991.
Since October 2014 he is Professor for Robotics & Neuroprostheses
at the same faculty.
Marian Poboroniuc was born in Piatra-Neamt, Romania, 1967. He studied electrical engineering at
TU Iasi, Romania from 1985 till 1991, and he received the Dipl.-Ing. degree from the TU Iasi in 1991. In parallel with his
duties at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of Iasi he performed his
doctoral studies and he received the Dr. degree from the POLITEHNICA University
of Bucharest in 2000. In 2001 he joined the Institute of Automatic Control
Engineering, TU Munchen where he has pursued
postdoctoral research into modelling and control of neuroprostheses
as NeuralPRO TMR Fellow. He continued his
postdoctoral work as NeuralPRO Control Engineer
within the Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering, University
College of London, from 2002 till 2003. In 2003, he returned to the Technical
University of Iasi where he coordinated several research projects dealing with neuroprosthesis control algorithms and he is also active in
the Neurology Clinic of the Rehabilitation Hospital of Iasi by jointly teaching
FES courses and developing neuroprostheses supporting
gait and arm therapies.
His
current research interests involve mobile robots control algorithms, human
motion analysis and synthesis, neuroprosthetics,
biomechanics, and rehabilitation robotics. He authored and co-authored more
than 70 journal and conference articles and 2 patents. He is a member of IFESS
and SETIS, a speaker of the EPE2006, and a member of several conferences
International Program Committees. He was awarded with several prizes including
