Prof. Dario G. Liebermann completed a Ph.D. degree in the department of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics at the Weizmann Institute of Sciences in 1998, followed by post-doctoral research in clinical motor neurosciences in the Faculty of Medicine of the Calgary University (1998-1999), and sport sciences in the Sport Technolgy Research Center of the Faculty of Kinesiology at the University of Calgary (1999-2000). Previously, he earned a M.Sc. degree (1988) in Motor Control from the Faculty of Applied Sciences at the Simon Fraser University, Canada. Since 2000, Prof. Liebermann is with the department of Physical Therapy at the Sackler Faculty of Medicine, where he served as Chairperson from 2010 to 2014, and again from 2018 till today. He is ad hoc reviewer and editorial board member in several leading journals in the area, and Associate Editor of the Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology since 2012. He supervised more than 35 graduate students (MSc, Phd, Post Doc), lectures at undergraduate and graduate levels on different aspects of human movement sciences and their practical implementations in patients, both neurological (e.g., upper limb motor impairments after a stroke) and orthopedic\musculoskeletal conditions (e.g., recurrent shoulder injuries; knee ACL injury and repair), and healthy people (athletes, elderly). His research focuses on theoretical aspects of human motor behavior and computational motor control, and their applications to movement enhancement, robotic rehabilitation and functional recovery, particularly of the upper limbs.
