Lorenzo Peroni

Lorenzo Peroni is a Full Professor at the Polytechnic University of Turin, affiliated with the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (DIMEAS). He serves as Deputy Coordinator of the Doctoral School of Mechanical Engineering and is a member of the Interdepartmental Center J-Tech@PoliTO. His research focuses on high strain rate mechanics, materials behavior under extreme conditions, and non-linear finite element modeling.

Research Interests include experimental analysis of materials under laser-driven shocks, dynamic deformation of composites, and numerical simulation techniques for blast injury prediction. His recent work explores 3D printing of crash-absorbing structures and recycling of fiber-reinforced polymers.

Scientific Contributions:

• AIAS Capocaccia Award (2007)
• Fellow of Italian Association of Stress Analysis (2001-)
• Associate Editor for Metals (2021-)

Teaching Activities span doctoral courses on dynamic structural simulation (2013-2025) and master's level instruction in Mechanics of Materials, Numerical Modeling, and Machine Construction. He has supervised numerous research projects including EU H2020 ARIES infrastructure and commercial contracts for motorcycle chassis development.
