nTopology 3 - User Guide.
Comprehensive Reference Manual in 3 Parts for Beginners and Intermediate Users with Step-by-Step Design-Based Approach
nTopology simulation software is based on the finite elements method (FEM) and is specifically conceived for the modeling of cellular solids and lattice structures. This electronic guide provides a detailed description of the software, addressed to users with various background levels in modeling and simulation.
MIMOSA Project
HORIZON EUROPE: Project Coordinator
Multimaterial airframes based on 3D joints between AM metals and carbon-fiber composites
The 3-years project involves a team of eight companies and reserach centers. Our target is to support the development of the next generations of aircrafts, which will necessarily follow production criteria with reduced environmental impact and lower need for raw materials.

STARDUST Project
Project Coordinator
Wearable Measuring System for Rehabilitation Trainings in Neurological Diseases and Traumas
Neuropsychology is supporting innovative multisensory rehabilitation trainings aided by wearable devices/sensors, due to the correlation between movements and “body ownership”. The 3-years project in cooperation with the Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer (IDAC) of Tohoku University (Japan) will design and fabricate an innovative wearable sensing device to be used with the Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) technology.
