Linda Greta Dui is a researcher at the NearLab, Department of Electronics, Information, and Bioengineering at the Politecnico di Milano. After earning her Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering in 2016, she worked at Link Up, collaborating with the IRCCS Galeazzi Orthopedic Institute to develop machine learning models aimed at predicting surgical outcomes. At the same time, she completed a Master’s in Analytics and Business Intelligence, strengthening her skills in data analysis and artificial intelligence.
In 2023, she obtained her PhD in Bioengineering from the Politecnico di Milano, focusing on innovative technologies for the early screening of neurodevelopmental disorders. Her work was recognized by the National Bioengineering Group, which awarded her for her research on serious games—digital tools that combine entertainment with learning—to detect early signs of dysgraphia in children. This innovative approach uses preschool drawing as an indicator of potential future writing difficulties, applying advanced artificial intelligence techniques.
Among her most significant contributions is her involvement in the IndiPote(dn)S project, developed in collaboration with the University of Insubria and the Varese School Office, which helps screen over 20,000 students each year for the early identification of specific learning disorders. The project has now been adopted as a regional standard under the name INDACO.
For her people-centered vision, her ability to turn artificial intelligence into a tool for the well-being of children, and her tangible contribution to responsible innovation, she was honored by the Women and Tech ETS association with the “Tecnovisionaria” award.
She is currently involved in projects aimed at transforming approaches to education and health prevention through AI. Passionate about teaching and mentoring students, she is actively engaged in training the next generation of biomedical engineers. In her personal life, she is a wife and mother of a daughter, who reminds her every day of the importance of her professional mission.
