Matteo Tomasi

Matteo Tomasi is a PhD student and research fellowship holder at the University of Trento, Department of Industrial Engineering. His work focuses on structural mechanics, dynamical systems, and space engineering, particularly through the development of computational tools like TrussMe-Fem for symbolic-numerical analysis and modeling of spacecraft mechanisms.

His research involves the validation of release mechanisms for space missions such as LISA Pathfinder, addressing challenges in geodesic motion injection, friction effects, and metallic adhesion. Publications span applied mechanics, finite element methods, and precision engineering for aerospace systems.

Recent publications highlight trends in space mechanism dynamical modeling, structural simulation, and friction analysis, with applications to missions like LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna). His work bridges theoretical computation with experimental validation for in-flight spacecraft performance prediction.
