Alessandro Aimasso

Alessandro Aimasso is a PhD student in Aerospace Engineering (38th cycle, 2022-2025) at the Polytechnic University of Turin's Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (DIMEAS), where he also serves as an external lecturer and teaching assistant. He contributes to research activities at the ASTRA group (Additive Manufacturing for Systems and Structures in Aerospace) and the interdepartmental Center for Photonic Technologies PhotoNext.

His research focuses on optical sensors for aeronautical and space applications, particularly Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) technology for system lifecycle management. Specific interests include:

• Augmented reality visualization of sensor data
• Thermal and structural monitoring of aerospace systems
• Smart composites manufacturing with embedded sensors
• Lunar habitat construction technologies
• Real-time monitoring systems for spacecraft

Analysis of his recent publications shows strong focus on experimental validation of FBG sensor applications in extreme environments, development of real-time monitoring systems, and integration of augmented reality for data visualization. His work frequently involves rapid prototyping and multidisciplinary approaches to aerospace challenges.

He holds two patents:

• USE AND INTEGRATION OF SENSORS IN THE STRUCTURE AND EQUIPMENT OF COMPLEX MACHINES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLIGENT MONITORING SYSTEMS AND CREATION OF MULTIFUNCTIONAL VIRTUAL SENSORS
• Gas-dynamic nozzle for an end-jet engine, specifically a launcher

As a teaching assistant, he contributes to courses on Modeling, Simulation, and Testing of Aerospace Systems, and Photonics in the Digital Revolution. His laboratory work involves the ASTRA group's facilities focusing on additive manufacturing and photonic technologies.
