Biography

Diego Candia-Rivera was born in Los Ángeles, Chile, in 1992. He received the dual B.S. degree in biotechnology and electrical engineering and the Electrical Engineering degree with a specialization in computational intelligence from the University of Chile, in 2014 and 2016, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in information engineering from the University of Pisa, Italy, in 2022. From 2017 to 2019, he was a Research Engineer with École Normale Supérieure de Paris and the Paris Brain Institute. Since 2019, he has been with the Research Center E. Piaggio, University of Pisa. His research interests include the study of brain–heart interactions through generative models of brain dynamics and machine learning to understand their role in cognition and consciousness. He uncovered that brain–heart interactions reflect the presence and levels of consciousness in severely brain-damaged patients—this work was awarded by the Society of Neuroscience, USA, in 2022.
