Alessio Artoni is Associate Professor of Applied Mechanics (ING-IND/13, Meccanica Applicata alle Macchine) at the Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering, Università di Pisa, Italy.
He obtained his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (Università di Pisa, 2008) with a dissertation about microgeometry optimization of spiral bevel and hypoid gears, supervised by Prof. Massimo Guiggiani. He was a post-doctoral researcher at The Ohio State University (USA), with Prof. Ahmet Kahraman.
He is/has been Principal Investigator and participant for several research projects funded by the aerospace company GE Avio Aero, the Gear and Power Transmission Research Laboratory (GearLab, The Ohio State University), Ferrari Gestione Sportiva (F1), Dana Italia, etc. He participates/ed in the EU FP7 projects PaCMan (robotic manipulation), GTFTR (geared turbofan test rig), WALK-MAN (robotic locomotion and manipulation), and in the Horizon 2020 SoMa project (robotic soft manipulation).
He is Associate Editor of the journals Mechanism and Machine Theory and Precision Engineering.
He is the recipient of the 2013 AIMETA (Italian Association of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics) Junior Prize in Mechanics of Machines, and the second place winner of the 2005 national competition for best M.S. thesis on power transmission, organized by ASSIOT with the endorsement of AgustaWestland.
His current research interests include:
optimal design of gear drives for power transmission
simulation-based multi-objective/robust design optimization
trajectory planning and numerical optimal control for (bio)robotics
