Enrico RADI

Enrico RADI is a Full Professor in the Department of Engineering Sciences and Methods at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. His academic roles include teaching advanced courses in mechanical and structural engineering, such as Mechanics of Machines and Structures, Sustainable Industrial Building Design, and Rational Mechanics. His research focuses on mechanics of materials, structural analysis, nanotechnology, and biomaterials engineering. Key areas include contact mechanics, composite materials, and micro/nano-scale systems. He has published extensively on topics ranging from advanced structural analysis to biomechanical applications of metamaterials.

Teaching responsibilities span multiple engineering disciplines, including courses in mechatronics and management engineering programs. His research integrates theoretical models with computational simulations (e.g., FEA) and experimental validation, as seen in his work on auxetic meta-biomaterials and nano-scale electromechanical systems. Office location: Via Amendola 2 Pad. Morselli, Reggio Emilia. Student reception hours: Wednesdays 3–5 PM. ORCID: 0000-0002-7410-3008.

Recent research highlights include studies on carbon nanotube tweezers, functionally graded materials (FGM), and biomimetic scaffolds for orthopedic implants. His work bridges classical mechanics with modern applications in nanotechnology and sustainable engineering.
