Marzio Sorlini is an Associate Professor of Industrial Process Sustainability at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI), affiliated with the Department of Innovative Technologies (DTI) and the Sustainable Production Systems Laboratory (LSPS). He has been active at SUPSI since 2009, combining teaching in Management Engineering with research in sustainability, manufacturing innovation, and circular economy. His work focuses on integrating sustainability into industrial processes through methodologies like Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Lean manufacturing.

Education: Master of Science in Management Engineering (Politecnico di Milano, 2001) and PhD in Industrial Engineering (Università degli Studi di Parma, 2017). Professional roles include co-founding Technology Transfer System s.r.l. (2006) and leading SUPSI’s Sustainable Production Systems research initiatives.

Research interests emphasize sustainable manufacturing systems, industrial symbiosis, and digital tools for environmental performance assessment. Key projects include SAM (sustainability in mould&die industry), CO-VERSATILE (pandemic response manufacturing), and Circular TwAIn (AI-driven circularity). His publications address topics like LCA methodologies, industrial agglomeration sustainability, and anthropocentric workplace design.

Notable contributions include developing the Sustainability Platform (SP) for LCA applications and advising on mass customization and lean-green production paradigms. Current roles involve strategic leadership in EU projects targeting sustainable manufacturing resilience and circular economy innovation.
