Prof. Matteo Strano is associate professor at Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Meccanica, with qualification (abilitazione nazionale) to full professorship obtained in 2017. He is an expert of materials forming and moulding processes.
He teaches Advanced Manufacturing Processes (10 credits) to the master students in Mechanical Engineering at Politecnico and Tecnologia Meccanica (5 credits) to the undergraduate students in Energy Engineering.
His research is focused on developing new methods, processes and machines for metal forming (especially sheet and tube forming processes) and additive manufacturing by extrusion. He is currently working on projects on the digital and sustainable transformation of materials forming technologies. He has lead about 20 research projects with full scientific responsibility, financed by public or private entities.
