Dr. Clara B. Sanz Morère
Center for Clinical Neuroscience – Hospital Los Madroños, Madrid, Spain

Clara Sanz-Morère (Madrid, 1993) is a biomedical engineer with a PhD in Biorobotics from the Biorobotics Institute of Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in Italy. During her career she worked in the H2020 CYBERLEGs++ project, where she focused in developing and validating controllers for lower-limb exoskeletons as well as studying the effects of robotic devices in the walking abilities of transfemoral amputees and stroke survivors.
She is now working as a post-doctoral researcher in the Center for Clinical Neuroscience of the Hospital Los Madroños in Spain, where she tries to reduce the gap between engineers and clinicians and integrate the concept of the H2020 EUROBENCH project in everyday clinical research.

Dr. David Rodriguez-Cianca
Cajal Institute, Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), Madrid, Spain

David Rodriguez-Cianca (Madrid, 1991) received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain, in 2014 and 2016, respectively. In January 2021 he received a PhD in engineering from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Belgium, where he was the recipient of a prestigious doctoral research grant from the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO). His PhD thesis, carried out at the Multibody Mechanics and Robotics research group of VUB, focused on the design, control and implementation of novel remote actuation technologies and lower limb exoskeletons for gait rehabilitation. From April 2021 he is a postdoctoral researcher at the Neural Rehabilitation group (NRG) of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), where he works in the study of human-exoskeleton physical interaction and wearable robots benchmarking.
