معرفی
Emanuele Cerruto is a full-time Associate Professor of Agricultural Mechanics at the Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment (Di3A) of the University of Catania. He holds a PhD in Agricultural Engineering and has been a tenured academic since 2005. His institutional affiliations include membership in the PhD program Teaching Committee (since 2016) and leadership roles in the Mechanics and Mechanization Section (2019-2024).
His research focuses on
- Operator safety in agricultural workplaces (vibration/noise exposure, pesticide application risks)
- Post-harvest fruit processing optimization (impact detection via sensorized spheres)
- Agrochemical distribution efficiency (spray pattern analysis, drift reduction)
- Agro-industrial energy valorization (waste-to-energy systems)
His publications (210+) address agricultural machinery calibration, pesticide application optimization, and vibration analysis in harvesting systems, with recent works appearing in Applied Sciences, Agronomy, and Computers and Electronics in Agriculture. He leads national research units funded by MUR and coordinates quality assurance groups for degree programs in Food Science and Agricultural Technology.
