Alessio Artoni is an 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 completed his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at the Università di Pisa in 2008, with a dissertation about microgeometry optimization of spiral bevel and hypoid gears, under the supervision of Prof. Massimo Guiggiani and Marco Gabiccini. Following his Ph.D., he furthered his research as a post-doctoral researcher at The Ohio State University (USA), collaborating with Prof. Ahmet Kahraman.
Prof. Artoni has been Principal Investigator and participant in numerous research projects funded by the aerospace company GE Avio Aero, the Gear and Power Transmission Research Laboratory (GearLab, The Ohio State University), Ferrari and Scuderia Ferrari, Dana Italia, etc. He has contributed to significant EU projects including the FP7 projects PaCMan (robotic manipulation), GTFTR (geared turbofan test rig), WALK-MAN (robotic locomotion and manipulation), and the Horizon 2020 SoMa project (robotic soft manipulation).
He currently serves as an Associate Editor for the journals Mechanism and Machine Theory and Precision Engineering.
Prof. Artoni's research interests are diverse and include:
Optimal design of gear drives, especially spiral bevel and hypoid gears, for power transmission
Simulation-based multi-objective and robust design optimization
Trajectory planning and numerical optimal control for (bio)robotics
Biomechanics.
