Fields of interest:

Neuroscience of movement
Uros Marusic is employed at the Science and Research Centre Koper and Alma Mater Europaea University (Slovenia). He graduated from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, from the department of Cybernetics in Medicine – Biomedical Engineering (2011) and acquired a PhD degree in the study program Applied Kinesiology of the University of Primorska (2015). Uros Marusic is an Associate Professor of Kinesiology, and his research is focused on neuromuscular efficiency of movement. In the field of neuroscience of movement, he integrates behavior data with various neurophysiological, cardiovascular, biomechanical and cognitive assessments. With his background in Biomedical engineering and PhD in Kinesiology, he tries to integrate both fields to holistically understand the efficiency of human movement in aged and diseased individuals. In 2017 he was a visiting research fellow at the University of Michigan (Michigan) and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (NYC). In 2018 he returned as research fellow at the University of Michigan’s Functional Neuroimaging, Cognitive and Mobility Laboratory (dr. Nicolaas Bohnen), where he mastered the knowledge on Parkinson’s disease patients. Since November 2020, he has been leading the international Horizon 2020 project entitled TwinBrain (TWINning the BRAIN with machine learning for neuro-muscular efficiency), worth €0.9 million, funded by the European Commission (ID 952401). Since September 2023, he is the PI of another Horizon Europe project entitled TBrainBoost, worth €2 million (ID 101120150).
