About me
Dr. Luca Randazzo is an engineer and entrepreneur working in the field of disability.
He is currently CEO at Emovo Care (https://emovocare.com/ ), a medical device company developing exoskeletal devices with the ultimate goal of supporting “therapy while living” - to improve clinical benefits through more intensive and meaningful therapy directly blended with daily living.
He is also the co-founder of the Hackahealth association (https://www.hackahealth.ch/), - a living community which organizes yearly hackathons and a university course at EPFL (https://www.epfl.ch/education/educational-initiatives/discovery-learning-program-2/interdisciplinary-projects/assistive-technologies-challenge/) where people can meet and mingle, fighting the social constructs of disability through sharing and togetherness.
Luca’s involvement in the field of disability comes from his personal experience with his sister who has cerebral palsy (https://actu.epfl.ch/news/we-need-to-empower-people-with-disabilities-2/ ). He strives to transform the perception of disability through play, inclusion, and technology.
Luca worked at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena (California - US), and at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Torino (Italy).
He holds a Ph.D. in Robotics from EPFL Lausanne, a M.Sc. degree in Mechatronics Engineering from Politecnico di Torino, a M.Sc. in Automation Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, and a B.Sc. in Computer and Electrical Engineering from Università degli studi di Catania.
