Del Prete Zaccaria

Zaccaria Del Prete is a Full Professor of Industrial and Biomedical Measurements at Sapienza University of Rome. He holds the academic rank of Professore ordinario (Full Professor) in the ING-IND/12 discipline. Previously, he served as a visiting scientist at the University of Massachusetts (USA) for a decade. He currently chairs the Clinical and Biomedical Engineering program. His research spans biomedical and industrial engineering, including mechanoreceptor neuron coding mechanisms, viscoelastic biological tissue properties, and biomechanical analysis of muscle fibers via Particle Image Velocimetry. In industry, he focuses on strain measurement, fuel cell characterization, hydrogen production systems, and lithium-ion battery testing. He has co-authored over 90 peer-reviewed publications, two book chapters, and holds two patents. Active in IEEE's Instrumentation and Measurement Society, he leads the Measurements Research Group, whose projects and activities are detailed on his webpage.
