Project IGA4Stent
People
IGA4Stent is coordinated by Prof. Enzo Marino affiliated to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DICEA) in partnership with Dr. Niccolò Grossi affiliated to the Department of Industrial Engineering (DIEF). However, the project is part of a broader research effort carried out in collaboration with other researchers and research projects developed in synergy with IGA4Stent (e.g., THE Tuscany Health Ecosystem).
Here all the researchers involved in this research are acknolweged.
PROJECT COORDINATOR:
Enzo Marino
Prof. Enzo Marino is the project coordinator. He will be responsible for both management (WP0) and scientific activities. As an expert in Structural Mechanics and in Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) methods, he will work directly on the development of the models addressed in the project.
Enzo Marino is Associate Professor of Solid and Structural Mechanics (CEAR-06/A) at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DICEA) of the University of Florence. In 2006 he graduated cum laude in Civil Engineering (structural engineering). In 2010 he earned the Univ. of Florence—TU-Braunschweig joint doctoral degree in Mitigation of Risk due to Natural Hazards on Structures and Infrastructures. Final examination passed with excellent. In 2020 he obtained the National Qualification (Abilitazione Scientifica Nazionale 2018-2020) for Full Professorship (Professore Ordinario) in ICAR/08 with 5/5 positive assessments. Main research areas: computational structural mechanics and dynamics of offshore wind energy structures.
PROJECT PARTNER:
Niccolò Grossi
Dr Niccolò Grossi, as expert of manufacturing technologies including additive manufacturing (3D printing), is the researcher in charge of the 4D printing proof of concept of the project.
Dr. Niccolò Grossi is Assistant Professor at Manufacturing Technologies Research Lab. in the Department of Industrial Engineering of Firenze (DIEF). He took his master’s degree in mechanical engineering in 2011. Then he pursed his PhD, graduating in April 2014 with a thesis on “Modelling and simplification methods for machine tool dynamics prediction in high speed milling”, supervised by Dr. Antonio Scippa. During his PhD studies, he was a visiting student at the Manufacturing Automation Laboratory at University of British Columbia, supervised by Prof. Yusuf Altintas. He is co-chair of Manufacturing Processes and chair of Manufacturing Studies at Mechanical Engineering Course. His research interests are focused on simulation and measurements of manufacturing process (machining and additive) with specific attention to dynamic issues. Recently he has started working on Additive Manufacturing techniques, by investigating and modelling the Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) process.
