Bianca Maria Colosimo

Prof. Bianca Maria Colosimo is a faculty member at Politecnico di Milano in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Her research focuses on in-situ sensing and monitoring of metal additive manufacturing (AM) processes, particularly Laser Powder Bed Fusion. She develops statistical data mining techniques for defect detection and process control, integrating big data streams into quality assurance systems. Her work aims to advance smart AM technologies through real-time monitoring and digital twin methodologies.

Key research interests include:

• Metal Additive Manufacturing
• Statistical Process Control
• Image Data Analysis
• Laser Powder Bed Fusion
• In-situ Monitoring
• Smart Manufacturing Systems

Publications highlight her contributions to layerwise imaging, plume signature analysis, and spatial statistical modeling for AM processes. Contact: Department of Mechanical Engineering, Politecnico di Milano.
