Angelo Domenico Vella

Angelo Domenico Vella serves as a Fixed-term Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (DIMEAS) at Politecnico di Torino, actively contributing to the Collegio di Ingegneria Meccanica, Aerospaziale e dell'Autoveicolo. His teaching portfolio spans multiple academic years (2019/20–2025/26) across Automotive Engineering and Mechanical Engineering degree programs, with core responsibilities in Vehicle Dynamics Simulation and Motor Vehicle Mechanics courses.

His research centers on advanced vehicle dynamics, emphasizing off-road tire-terrain interaction modeling, electric micro-mobility systems (particularly electric kick scooters), and automotive testing methodologies. Key methodologies include numerical simulation, experimental validation, and parameter estimation techniques applied to soft soil mechanics, scale vehicle electrification, and biomechanical analysis of rider dynamics. This work bridges theoretical mechanical engineering principles with practical automotive challenges in emerging mobility sectors.

Recent 2024 publications presented at SAE WCX and IFToMM Italy conferences demonstrate a cohesive research trajectory focused on improving vehicle performance prediction through tire modeling innovations, testing protocol development for electrified systems, and safety analysis of micro-mobility devices. The publications consistently integrate computational and experimental approaches to address real-world automotive engineering problems.
