Matteo Magelli

Matteo Magelli is a Fixed-term Assistant Professor at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (DIMEAS), Politecnico di Torino. His research focuses on digital twins, multibody dynamics, and railway vehicle dynamics, with specific interests in wheel-rail contact mechanics, tribology, and brake simulation.

• Fixed-term Assistant Professor (2024-present)
• Teaching roles: PhD Multibody Systems Applications, Master of Science in Machine Construction, and Bachelor-level courses
• Supervised PhD student: Rosario Pagano (Mechanical Engineering, 40th cycle)

Research projects include dynamic simulations for railway braking systems, thermal analysis of synthetic brake blocks, and design of next-generation carbody technology. His work aligns with SDGs 9 (Industry Innovation) and 11 (Sustainable Cities).

Selected publications address topics such as twin-disc device adaptation for braking investigations, railway wheel wear modeling, and digital twin integration in train dynamics.
