Renata Sisto graduated in Physics in 1988, defending a thesis on the renormalization of chiral gauge theories on the lattice. Since 1994, she has been a Researcher at the Italian National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (ISPESL). Since 2003, she has been a Senior Researcher, and, since 2015, she has been Head of the Laboratory of Synergistic Interaction among Risks at the National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work (INAIL). In 2019, she received the National Scientific qualification as a Full Professor in Applied Physics (FIS/07). Her main research fields are physiological acoustics and biomedical data analysis. She is the author of more than 100 peer-reviewed papers, mainly regarding cochlear modeling, otoacoustic emissions, and hearing damage. She is a reviewer for several journals, including the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America and the Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology. She has been a principal investigator for two national projects of the Italian Ministry of Health dedicated to exploiting the diagnostic power of otoacoustic emission measurements, and she is currently involved in a space research project dedicated to monitoring the hearing function of astronauts on board the International Space Station.
