Monica Gorassini completed an undergraduate degree in human biology at the University of Guelph (1985-1989) and a PhD in neurophysiology at the University of Alberta (1989 -1994) in Edmonton with post-doctoral studies at the University of Copenhagen (1994-1995) and University of Alberta (1996-1999) using both animal and human models of cerebellar and spinal cord injury. Dr. Gorassini joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Alberta in 1999 and is the Director of the Sensorimotor Rehabilitation Neuroscience group and committee member of the International Motoneuron Society. By integrating both animal and human studies, Dr. Gorassini examines changes in spinal motoneurons and neuronal circuits following spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and the mechanisms of motor recovery and spasticity reduction in response to rehabilitative and sensory stimulation interventions.

François Hug received his PhD in human movement sciences from Aix-Marseille Université (France) in 2003. He has been Full Professor at Nantes Université (France) until he moved to Université Côte d’Azur (France) in 2021. He is an honorary fellow of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) and an honorary professor at the University of Queensland (Australia) where he spent >4.5 years between 2011 and 2019. His research focuses on the neural control of movement. Within this area, Francois has (co)-authored more than 200 papers in peer-reviewed journals. He has been serving on the editorial board of Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology since 2009 and he is an expert for the Consensus for Experimental Design in Electromyography (CEDE) project. He is currently a council member of the International Society of Electrophysiology and Kinesiology (ISEK).

Kylie Tucker is a Professor in the School of Biomedical Sciences at The University of Queensland, where she leads the Motor Control and Pain Research group. Her work focuses on the neural control of movement in health and disease, spanning pain-related adaptations in motor control, quantitative electromyography, and biomechanics – across the lifespan, including childhood neuromotor development, adolescent musculoskeletal health and adult neuromotor disorders. Professor Tucker has authored more than 120 peer-reviewed journal articles. Notable contributions include foundational work on movement adaptations in pain, advances in elastography for estimating individual muscle forces, and consensus guidance for experimental design in electromyography (CEDE). Her research program is highly collaborative, bridging basic science and clinical application to inform rehabilitation and performance. Professor Tucker intentionally fosters a supportive academic culture, empowering academics in their pursuit of excellence. She is the current President of ISEK having contributed to the society’s leadership since 2018.
