Marco Santello is the Fulton Professor of Neural Engineering at the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering in the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering at Arizona State University. Santello is the director of the Neural Control of Movement Laboratory. He served as the Harrington Endowed Chair and Director of the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering from 2012 to 2022. Santello currently serves as the ASU Site Director of the NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center BRAIN and Director of the Science and Technology Center in Human Performance. His main research interests are human performance, motor control and learning, haptics, and rehabilitation engineering.
His Neural Control of Movement laboratory uses complementary research approaches, ranging from non-invasive neuromodulation (TMS, tFUS) to motion tracking, electromyography, electroencephalography, and virtual reality environments. His work has been published in neuroscience and engineering journals, and he has been supported by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, DARPA, the Whitaker Foundation, The Mayo Clinic, and Google. He serves as grant reviewer for US and European funding agencies, Associate Editor for Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering, and member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Assistive, Rehabilitative and Therapeutic Technologies.
