Dr. Santiago Scagliusi

I am an Assistant Professor in Electronics Engineering at the University of Seville, Spain, with a focus on wearable medical devices for disease prevention and remote monitoring. My expertise lies in bioimpedance-based sensing, circuit design, embedded systems, and AI-driven health analytics.

My primary research has focused on developing VOLUM, a groundbreaking wearable device for detecting fluid retention in heart failure patients—the leading cause of hospitalization in people over 65. This innovative solution enables continuous 24/7 hydration monitoring, representing a significant advancement over existing bioimpedance measuring devices that are large, heavy, and costly.

As a Fulbright Scholar at Swarthmore College (Pennsylvania, USA), I conducted predoctoral research on bioimpedance measurement techniques, identifying and characterizing a previously undocumented low-frequency artifact caused by electrode mismatch.

In addition to my research, I teach Microcontrollers and Embedded Systems, Electromedicine Lab, and Computer Architecture to undergraduate students, integrating AI-powered tools and innovative teaching methods to enhance the learning experience.

I'm passionate about science communication and produce short-form educational content on electronics, reaching over 50,000 followers across social media platforms.
