Alberto Boschetto

Alberto Boschetto is a Full Professor at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Sapienza University of Rome. His research focuses on advanced manufacturing technologies, particularly additive manufacturing (AM), materials science, and surface engineering. He leads investigations into 4D printing, laser powder bed fusion, and digital image analysis for quality control in AM processes.

Key areas of expertise include:

• 4D printing of smart materials for dynamic applications
• Optimization of metal additive manufacturing processes (SLM, FFF)
• Surface characterization and post-processing techniques
• Application of AM in aerospace components (satellites, LIDAR systems)
• Industry 4.0 integration for space manufacturing

Recent work emphasizes defect detection via digital image processing, corrosion-resistant coatings for aluminum alloys, and lightweight satellite platform design. His publications span over 20 years with a focus on improving AM process reliability and expanding its aerospace applications.

Dr. Boschetto collaborates on EU-funded projects related to smart manufacturing systems and has pioneered AM redesign methodologies for military aircraft components. His research bridges fundamental materials science with practical industrial applications in aerospace and automotive sectors.
