Lucia Cassettari

Lucia Cassettari serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical, Energy, Management and Transport Engineering (DIME) at the University of Genoa, where she teaches Production Systems Management, Industrial Plants, Industrial Logistics, and System Quality across Energy Engineering, Management Engineering, and Electrical Engineering programs.

Her research integrates advanced manufacturing with healthcare systems optimization. In sustainable manufacturing, she pioneers adhesive bonding techniques for thermoplastic composites using plasma and laser treatments, coupled with Life Cycle Assessment for environmental impact analysis. Concurrently, she applies industrial engineering methodologies like statistical process control and Lean principles to healthcare challenges including hospital infection prevention and surgical pathway reengineering.

Recent publications reveal a distinctive interdisciplinary trajectory where composite materials research emphasizes eco-efficient production processes, while healthcare studies focus on data-driven operational improvements in clinical settings. This dual focus demonstrates how industrial engineering frameworks can bridge traditional manufacturing and complex service systems.
