Stefano Marchesiello is a Full Professor of Applied Mechanics at the Polytechnic University of Turin, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (DIMEAS), a position he has held since 2019. His academic work spans theoretical studies, numerical applications, and experimental tests within the field of Applied Mechanics. He maintains active roles in doctoral education, serving on mechanical engineering doctoral colleges from 2013/2014 through 2024/2025, and teaches courses including Dynamics and Identification of Nonlinear Systems, Dynamics of Mechanical Systems, Vibration Mechanics, and Machine Mechanics for Aerospace Engineering. Marchesiello's research focuses on modal analysis and identification, damage diagnosis in structures and construction materials, damping systems, mechanical vibrations, and nonlinear dynamics. His primary research lines include vehicle-bridge dynamic interaction, dynamic identification techniques in linear and nonlinear fields, damage identification, vibrations of continuous systems with non-proportional damping, innovative vibration damping devices, diagnostics and monitoring of rotating systems, and pantograph-catenary dynamic interaction. His work bridges theoretical mechanics with practical engineering applications, particularly in transportation infrastructure and mechanical systems. His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on nonlinear system identification, structural health monitoring, and vibration analysis across various mechanical and aerospace applications. Marchesiello's research shows increasing integration of machine learning techniques with traditional mechanical engineering approaches, particularly in system identification and damage detection. His work spans from fundamental nonlinear dynamics to practical applications in railway systems, rotating machinery, and structural components. Certificate of reviewing awarded by Journal of Sound and Vibration - Elsevier, Netherlands (2013) Certificate of Excellence in Reviewing - Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing 2013 awarded by Elsevier, Netherlands (2013) Marchesiello serves as Scientific Director for multiple commercial research contracts, particularly with Officina Fratelli Bertolotti SpA, focusing on vibration damping systems for railway catenaries and rotor dynamics modeling. He has led research projects from 2008 through 2023, demonstrating sustained research leadership and industry collaboration. His editorial work includes membership on the Editorial Board of SHOCK AND VIBRATION since 2018, and he has served on program committees for the International Conference on Damage Assessment of Structures (DAMAS) across multiple years. He is actively involved with the Dynamics of Mechanical Systems and Identification research group (DIMEAS), which focuses on developing advanced methods for analyzing and identifying mechanical systems with both linear and nonlinear behaviors. His research integrates computational modeling, experimental validation, and practical applications across multiple engineering domains.
