Marco Bonizzato is an assistant professor of electrical engineering at Polytechnique Montréal, an adjunct professor of neuroscience at Université de Montréal, and an associate academic member at MILA – Québec AI Institute.

He is an engineer specializing in control systems, electrical engineering, and life sciences, with experience in implantable brain-computer interfaces and neuromodulation technologies. With dual expertise in (a) neural prostheses and (b) machine intelligence and optimization, he leads the sciNeurotech Lab at Polytechnique. The lab’s mission is to advance the full translational arc of neurostimulation therapies for restoring sensorimotor function after neurotrauma—from foundational discoveries in rodent models to personalized medical technologies.

Bonizzato’s research focuses on the cortical control of movement, which he investigates through invasive neural recordings and stimulation. Using animal models of motor disorders, he examines how volition and cortical commands influence movement recovery. Collaborating with clinicians, he applies this mechanistic understanding to develop new neuromodulation interventions.
