Alessandro Bertirotti

Alessandro Bertirotti serves as a Contract Professor (mapped to PartTime Lecturer) within the Department of Architecture and Design at the University of Genoa. He teaches Anthropology for Design for the Nautical Product Design undergraduate program, bridging cultural studies with practical maritime design applications through active student engagement and modern communication tools.

His research centers on artificial intelligence integration in nautical contexts, with emphasis on yacht design methodology, human-centered AI systems, and emotion recognition for enhanced design processes. Key interests include AI-driven knowledge management, cultural cognition in design, and the evolution of nautical architecture through collaborative human-AI frameworks.

Recent publications reveal a cohesive trend toward practical AI implementation in maritime design, focusing on designer-in-the-loop systems, multi-agent knowledge navigation, and emotional intelligence in yacht architecture. This work demonstrates consistent interdisciplinary fusion of anthropology, AI technology, and nautical engineering principles.

Bertirotti maintains intensive student mentorship through dedicated WhatsApp communication channels and flexible office hours, prioritizing personalized academic support while leveraging digital tools for real-time collaboration on course-related professional matters.
