Claudio Cobelli was born in Bressanone (Bolzano), Italy, on February 21, 1946. He received the Doctoral degree (Laurea) in Electrical Engineering in 1970 from the University of Padova, Padova, Italy. From 1970 to 1980 he was a Research Fellow of the Institute of System Science and Biomedical Engineering, National Research Council, Padova, Italy. From 1973 to 1975 and 1975 to 1981 he was Associate Professor of Biological Systems at the University of Florence and Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Padova, respectively. In 1981 he become Full Professor of Biomedical Engineering at University of Padova. Since 2000 he is Affiliate Professor with Bioengineering at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA. Since 2000 he is Chairman of the Graduate and Ph.D. Program on Bioengineering at the University of Padova. His main research activity is in the field of modeling and identification of physiological systems, especially endocrine-metabolic systems. He has published around 280 papers in internationally refereed journals. He is co-editor of Carbohydrate Metabolism: Quantitative Physiology and Mathematical Modeling (Chichester: Wiley, 1981), Modeling and Control of Biomedical Systems (Oxford: Pergamon Press, 1989) and Modeling Methodology for Physiology and Medicine (New York:Academic Press,2000).He is co-author of: The Mathematical Modeling of Metabolic and Endocrine Systems (New York: Wiley, 1983); Tracer Kinetics in Biomedical Research: from Data to Model (London:Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, 2001) and Introduction to Modeling in Physiology and Medicine (San Diego: Academic Press, 2008). He is currently Associate Editor of IEEE Transaction on Biomedical Engineering and Diabetes. He is on the Editorial Board of American Journal of Physiology: Endocrinology and Metabolism, Journal of Diabetes Science&Technology. In the past he has been Associate Editor of Mathematical Biosciencies and on the Editorial Board of Control Engineering Practice;Diabetes, Nutrition & Metabolism;Diabetologia, and American Journal of Physiology: Modeling in Physiology. Dr.Cobelli has been Chairman 1999-2004) of the Italian Biomedical Engineering Group and has been Chairman (1990-1993 & 1993-1996) of IFAC TC on Modeling and Control of Biomedical Systems. He is Fellow of IEEE and Fellow of BMES. He is an IEEE EMBS AdCom member.
