The main research activity of Maria Pia Saccomani is in the field of mathematical modeling of biological and physiological systems and identification of dynamic systems. In particular, she has many years of experience in developing theory, algorithms and software for checking parameter identifiability of nonlinear dynamic systems. She is involved in the research area of differential algebra methods in control and nonlinear system identification. The application fields regard mostly amino acids and glucose metabolism models, HIV and oncological models.
Maria Pia Saccomani was investigator and co-principal
investigator of national and international research programs.
She is reviewer of many journals in the fields of Bioengineering and
Mathematical Biology. She has organized invited sessions in international
conferences.
Since academic year 2005-2006 she has taught the course Bioimages for the Master's Degree Program in Bioengineering at the University of Padova.
Since academic year 2010-11, she has taught the course Processing of biomedical data, signals and images for the Bachelor's Degree Program in Bioengineering, University of Padova.
From 2010-11 to 2012-13 she taught the course Algebraic Tools for the Identifiability of Dynamical System for the PhD program of the Graduate School in Information Engineering, University of Padova.
In the past she taught the following courses:
