Dr. Davide Reato is a Research Associate at the Institut de Neurosciences de la Timone and the École des Mines de Saint-Étienne in southern France.
Trained as a physicist at the University of Padova, Italy, he completed his PhD at The City College of the City University of New York, USA. There, he used brain-slice preparations and computational models to investigate the cellular and network mechanisms by which low-amplitude electric fields modulate neural activity, with implications for tDCS and tACS. He then conducted postdoctoral research at the Champalimaud Foundation in Portugal, where he studied how brain state shapes the impact of external perturbations on neural activity and behavior. He has been awarded several competitive fellowships, including two Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships.
His current work focuses on how electrical stimulation interacts with ongoing brain dynamics to influence behavior. Combining in vivo neuroscience, computational modelling, and electrode fabrication, he aims to develop more effective approaches for neuromodulation.
