I graduated cum laude from Università Politecnica delle Marche in 2007, and I obtained the PhD title in Engineering Sciences with honors at the same university in January 2011 - Mechanics and Management Engineering curriculum. During my PhD, from 2009 to 2010, I performed an internship in Denmark at the Innovation Group of Bruel & Kjær Sound & Vibration. I served as research fellow for 6 years at the Department of Industrial Engineering and Mathematical Sciences of Università Politecnica delle Marche wherein I won a position as Assistant Professor in 2016. In December 2020 I got a position as Associate Professor in Mechanical and Thermal Measurements at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Politecnico di Milano.
My research activity is focused on the development of innovative measurement systems and it targets vibration measurements, using non-contact methods, for structural dynamics and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), the development of methodologies and algorithms for acoustic measurements, machine condition monitoring, machine vision, virtual- sensing, the development of IIoT tools to support human operators (Human in the Loop) and monitoring systems for the manufacturing industry and the construction sector.
I am active in the field of international (10 projects in total since the sixth EU framework program, of which 4 in the Horizon 2020 program) and national funded research as well as in industrial collaborations.
I have co-authored over 80 publications, one third of which in international peer-reviewed journals, a book chapter and 3 patents for industrial invention. I am co-founder of the innovative start-up U-Sense.IT.
