Silvia Colabianchi

Silvia Colabianchi is a researcher and assistant professor („Ricercatore“) at the Department of Computer, Control and Management Engineering „Antonio Ruberti“ of Sapienza University of Rome, where she teaches the Smart Factory course in the Master’s programmes in Management and Mechanical Engineering. Born in Rome in 1994, she obtained her PhD in Industrial and Management Engineering from the same university in 2023 with a dissertation on human-centred cyber-resilience of socio-technical systems.

Education:

• PhD in Industrial and Management Engineering, Sapienza University of Rome, 2023
• MSc in Management Engineering, Sapienza University of Rome, 2019
• Scientific high-school diploma, Liceo Scientifico “PNI”, Rome

Research interests revolve around the integration of cutting-edge digital technologies into manufacturing from a human-centric, Industry 5.0 perspective. She combines computer vision, large language models and immersive virtual reality to improve quality inspection, operator assistance and occupational safety, while investigating cyber-resilience, organisational learning and sustainable/circular product design.

Her 2023-2025 publications show a clear trend toward AI-enabled manufacturing support (digital assistants, LLMs, conversational agents), advanced training technologies (VR, Safety-II, ergonomic pose detection) and resilience assessment (fuzzy maturity models, storytelling-based studies, warehouse and supply-chain disruptions). Interdisciplinary work spans from industrial engineering and operations management to behavioural cybersecurity and space manufacturing logistics.

She is member of the scientific sector ING-IND/17 “Industrial Mechanical Systems” and actively collaborates on national and international projects that apply machine-learning models, data-analysis dashboards and immersive tools to real industrial environments.
