Luca Cortese

Luca Cortese is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Sapienza University of Rome. His research focuses on materials science, particularly in additive manufacturing processes like L-PBF, fracture mechanics, and the mechanical behavior of metals such as 17-4PH steel and Ti6Al4V. He investigates material characterization under multiaxial stresses, high strain rates, and fatigue conditions.

His work spans biomimetic structures, structural redesign of biomedical devices (e.g., hip prostheses), and interdisciplinary applications like 3D navigation systems in dentistry. Recent studies include the development of analytical methodologies for ductile fracture assessment and the evaluation of additive-manufactured components' fatigue properties.

Notable contributions include studies on material ductility under dynamic loading, SLM-processed steel anisotropy, and the integration of wireless charging systems in logistics. Cortese's research emphasizes experimental methods and computational modeling to address challenges in manufacturing and material durability.
