Edward Andò

Edward Andò is a Principal Scientist and Lecturer at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), with affiliations to the IMAGING group and the College of Engineering (ENAC). His work bridges software development, experimental geomechanics, and educational initiatives in image analysis.

• Principal Scientist, IMAGING-GE (EPFL)
• Lecturer, Sciences et Génie Civil (SGC-ENS)
• Lecturer, Enseignement à la Défense (EDEE-ENS)

Research Interests
Andò specializes in 3D image analysis, with a focus on X-ray tomography, digital volume correlation (DVC), and micromechanical modeling of granular materials. His work addresses geomechanical failure mechanisms, soil dynamics, and open-source software tools like SPAM for practical material analysis.

Publication Trends
His recent articles (2025–2023) emphasize X-ray tomography for studying granular deformation, rock failure, medical imaging, and soft particle compaction. Topics span geomechanics, computational modeling, and software development for experimental validation.

Labs and Teams
Andò contributes to the IMAGING group at EPFL, where he co-develops the SPAM (Software for Practical Analysis of Materials). His teaching includes courses like Fundamentals of Image Analysis and Quantitative Imaging for Engineers, which integrate hands-on training with theoretical frameworks.
