Dr. Alessandro Lucantonio is tenure-track Assistant Professor in Solid and Structural Mechanics at the BioRobotics Institute. He holds a PhD in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from Sapienza Università di Roma and a MSc in Space Engineering from the same institution. During the PhD, he was Visiting Student Research Collaborator at Princeton University in the Complex Fluids group. After the PhD, he was first Postdoctoral Researcher and then Assistant Professor at SISSA - International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste, Italy, in the mathLab group within the Mathematics Area.
His main expertise is the theoretical and computational modeling of multi-physics systems, including polymer-based smart materials and biological tissues, also using novel approaches at the intersection between mechanics, (discrete) differential geometry and machine learning.
He is currently teaching the courses "Computational Modeling for Multiphysics" for the PhD in Biorobotics and "Mechanics of elastic solids and biorobotic structures" for the MSc in Bionics Engineering. Moreover, he is co-advising several PhD students at the Institute who are carrying out research in soft robotics, biorobotic structures and laboratory automation.
Finally, Dr. Lucantonio is participating to the European projects: SoftGrip, I-SEED and STORM-BOTS. Research positions available!
MSc and PhD theses available (see Research page).
