Biografia

Leonardo Baldo is an Aerospace Engineer and PhD graduate in Mechanical Engineering from Politecnico di Torino, where his research focused on Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) for aerospace systems. His work lies at the intersection of mechanical and aerospace engineering, data-driven modeling, and intelligent maintenance, with a particular emphasis on developing practical solutions for safety-critical industrial applications. His research experience in the advanced monitoring of complex industrial systems covers a broad range of components and technologies, including electromechanical and electrohydraulic actuators, FBG-based sensing systems, inverters, gearboxes, and batteries.
His industrial PhD project addressed a strategic challenge for the aviation sector: transforming large volumes of operational aircraft data into actionable PHM capabilities for safety-critical flight control actuators, starting from legacy platforms. Developed in partnership between Politecnico di Torino and Leonardo S.p.A., and co-funded under the Italian Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza (PNRR) within the EU’s NextGenerationEU framework, the project aligned with national and European priorities in digital transformation, innovation, and safety-critical infrastructure.
During his doctoral studies, he contributed to the advancement of PHM methodologies for flight control actuation systems, combining reliability engineering, machine learning, probabilistic methods, and condition-based maintenance strategies to address real-world challenges in complex engineering systems. Alongside his academic research, Leonardo gained industrial experience through collaborations with leading aerospace companies, where he worked on predictive maintenance and data-driven decision support for aircraft systems.
