Michele Pasquali is an Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of Sapienza University of Rome. His research focuses on advanced materials for aerospace and high-energy physics applications, structural health monitoring, Industry 4.0 integration in aerospace manufacturing, and preliminary design methodologies for satellite systems and collimation systems in particle accelerators. His work often intersects with experimental facilities at CERN, particularly the HiRadMat facility for material testing under extreme conditions. Key research themes include: Development of advanced composite materials for aerospace and accelerator components Integration of AI and immersive technologies (AR/VR) in manufacturing and assembly processes Optimization of beam collimation systems for high-luminosity particle accelerators like the HL-LHC and FCC Economic analysis of space infrastructure concepts such as lunar propellant mining Systems engineering approaches for Earth observation satellite constellations His recent projects include: Design of a Cyber-Physical System for AR-assisted assembly of aerospace components Material characterization studies for vacuum beam windows at CERN facilities Preliminary analysis of moon-mined propellant viability for on-orbit refueling Collaborations involve major scientific institutions such as CERN and contributions to Future Circular Collider (FCC) conceptual design reports. His work bridges theoretical modeling with practical implementation in cutting-edge engineering systems.
