Mario Milazzo

Dr. Mario Milazzo is a researcher at the BioRobotics Institute of Sant'Anna School for Advanced Studies, with a current appointment at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA). His work bridges robotics, biomaterials, and computational modeling through interdisciplinary projects.

He earned a PhD in BioRobotics (2016) from Sant'Anna School for Advanced Studies after completing his Mechanical Engineering degree at the University of Pisa (2010).

• Research Areas: Multiscale modeling, industrial robotics, biomaterials, and bioinspired design using deep learning.
• Industry Collaborations: Ge Oil&Gas, Brembo, Magneti Marelli, Piaggio.

His recent publications highlight trends in industrial robotics (autonomous platforms, path planning, electro-hydraulic systems) and biomedical applications (bone regeneration, protein nanostructures, tympanic scaffolds). Key methodologies include sonification, molecular modeling, and AI-driven material design.

Scientific Awards:

• Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships (MSCA-IF-GF) with MIT, University of Antwerp, Tufts, and University of Pisa

He has co-authored 25+ international journal papers, 9 patents, and 24 conference contributions, while serving as a reviewer for 20+ journals and guest editor for Polymers (MDPI). His leadership roles in industry projects and symposium organization demonstrate his translational research focus.
