Luigi Grasselli

Luigi Grasselli is a Senior Professor at the Department of Engineering Sciences and Methods, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. His research spans topology, geometry, and their applications in engineering and art history. He focuses on metamaterials design, geometric structures, and historical mathematical contributions of Renaissance artists like Piero della Francesca and Albrecht Dürer. Grasselli also investigates environmental risks in recycling electronic waste.

His academic career includes roles in computational topology, geometric modeling, and interdisciplinary studies linking mathematics with art. Key areas of expertise include crystallization theory, 3-manifold topology, and tessellation patterns applied to engineering materials.

Grasselli has contributed to over 70 publications since 1978, exploring topics from Seifert manifolds to risk assessment methodologies. His work bridges pure mathematics with practical applications, such as additive manufacturing and sustainable waste management. He collaborates internationally, emphasizing geometric foundations in both historical and modern contexts.
