Daniele Botto is a Full Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (DIMEAS) at the Polytechnic University of Turin, where he conducts research in aeroengine dynamics, contact mechanics, and experimental vibration analysis. His work focuses on aerospace engineering applications with particular emphasis on turbine components and structural dynamics. His primary research interests include Aeroengine , Contact mechanics , Experimental dynamics , Nonlinear dynamics , and Tribology . His scientific work spans mechanical design, machine construction, and aerospace engineering with applications in energy systems. His ERC sectors specifically identify him within aerospace engineering, computational engineering, and mechanical manufacturing fields, aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals 7 (Affordable and clean energy) and 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure). Analysis of Professor Botto's recent publications (2023-2025) reveals a strong focus on digital image correlation (DIC) techniques for vibration measurement, turbine blade dynamics, and contact mechanics. His work demonstrates a consistent pattern of applying experimental methods to solve complex nonlinear dynamics problems in aerospace structures, particularly focusing on friction damping, dovetail attachments, and midspan dampers in turbine blades. The integration of smartphone technology for structural testing represents an innovative direction in his recent research. Professor Botto serves on the editorial board of the journal MATERIALS (2021-present) and has been a guest editor for special issues. He has participated in organizing committees for major conferences including the International Congress on Sound and Vibration and ASME Turbo Expo events. As an academic advisor, Professor Botto supervises multiple PhD students working on mechanical engineering topics, with current advisees including Alessandra Cesaretti, Mohammad Hedayatzadeh Roudsari, Enio Colonna, Federica Cuccovillo, and Serena Occhipinti. His research portfolio includes numerous funded projects such as STAGEH2 (Advanced Heat Exchange Applied to Green Economy), FARAWaY (Full-field Analysis of Rotating Structures), and various commercial research contracts with industry partners focusing on turbine components, wear characterization, and structural analysis. Professor Botto leads the "Aer-Mec for turbine and compressor components" research group within DIMEAS and collaborates extensively with industry on aeroengine-related research. His work bridges academic research with practical engineering applications, particularly in the areas of structural dynamics and contact mechanics for aerospace components.
