Biography

Eleonora Atzeni is a Full Professor in the Department of Management and Production Engineering at the Politecnico di Torino, where she has taught and conducted research since 2004. She is a member of the Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMTech) group at the Interdepartmental Integrated Additive Manufacturing Centre (IAM@PoliTo). Her research focuses on Additive Manufacturing technologies, production process modelling and material characterisation, with a strong connection to industrial applications. She has authored over 90 scientific publications and serves as a reviewer for several international journals. She has also received multiple awards, including the Best Young Scientist Award at iCAT 2012 and the Best Paper Award at ICIDM 2014. She is also the inventor of the patent 'Articular joint for exoskeletons, particularly for aerospace applications'. She has been recognised among the world's top 2% of scientists for five consecutive years (2021–2025), in acknowledgement of the impact and relevance of her scientific contributions. At Politecnico di Torino, she lectures on Bachelor's and Master's programmes in Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, as well as on postgraduate courses in Manufacturing 4.0 and Additive Manufacturing. She has coordinated research projects and PhD activities in collaboration with academic and industrial partners, contributing to the development of innovative, human-centred manufacturing paradigms.
