Sofia Scataglini is a Biomedical Engineer and Visiting Professor at Antwerp University (UA). She holds a Joint PhD in Applied Science between Politecnico di Milano and Belgian Royal Military Academy (RMA). Since 2014, she has been working as a Researcher at RMA and since 2018 at the Belgian Military Hospital Queen Astrid. Sofia Scataglini is a co-chair the Technical Committee (TC) on Digital Human Modeling and Simulation at International Ergonomics Association (IEA). She is also the founder of the Digital Human Modeling by Women group (DHMW), which is dedicated to promoting women  researchers around the world. In doing so, she organizes congresses related to Applied Human Factor and  Ergonomics, IEA and Digital Human Modelling. She is also an active editor and reviewer of books, journals and  scientific grants focusing on sensors, health and care, modelling and simulation, standardization, ergonomics and design. Silvia Imbesi has a master's degree in Architecture and a bachelor's degree in Industrial Design. She is now completing a Ph.D. program in inclusive design within the International Doctorate in Architecture and Urban Planning program (IDAUP) at the Department of Architecture of the University of Ferrara, presenting research on inclusive design for smart devices addressed to older users. Since 2009, Silvia Imbesi has worked as a freelance architect and designer, collaborating with other professionals, companies, industries, and institutions for the development of projects and design research. Starting from 2012, she collaborated with the University of Ferrara as a contract professor and participated in several kinds of research, as a research fellow, regarding user-centered methodologies, inclusive devices related to the IoT, innovative teaching methods, etc. Gonçalo Marques  holds a PhD in Computer Science Engineering and is member of the Portuguese Engineering Association (Ordem dos Engenheiros). He is currently working as Assistant Professor lecturing courses on programming, multimedia and database systems. Furthermore, he worked as a Software Engineer in the Innovation and Development unit of Groupe PSA automotive industry from 2016 to 2017 and in the IBM group from 2018 to 2019.
