Luigi Mazza is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (DIMEAS) at the Polytechnic University of Turin. His academic work focuses on tribology, pneumatic systems, and mechanical engineering, with particular expertise in friction phenomena and seal technology. Dr. Mazza's primary research interests include: Lifespan and wear of pneumatic seals Friction phenomena in seals Tribological measurements and analyses with pin-on-disc tribometers Controlled pneumatic systems His recent research has focused on the intersection of traditional mechanical engineering with modern computational approaches. Dr. Mazza has been investigating the application of machine learning for predictive maintenance in industrial systems, developing advanced modeling techniques for pneumatic components, and refining measurement methodologies for wear analysis in mechanical components. His work bridges theoretical understanding with practical engineering applications, particularly in the field of tribology and fluid power systems. Dr. Mazza has received the Frank P. Bussick 2012 award from the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE) USA, recognizing his contributions to the field of tribology. As an academic advisor, Dr. Mazza has supervised PhD students including Edoardo Goti (35th cycle, 2019-2023), whose thesis focused on "Graphene in Tribological Applications: Experimental Approaches." He has secured research funding through various competitive grants and commercial contracts, including projects such as SURF-TRIB (2024-2025), FreME (2021-2023), POCDE (2014-2016), and ISECOMP (2009-2011). Dr. Mazza is an active member of the Automation and Robotics research group within DIMEAS, contributing to both fundamental research and applied industrial projects in mechanical and aerospace engineering.
