Bio

Diego Manfredi was born in Turin, Italy, in 1978. He receveid the Laurea degree in Materials Engineering in 2003 and the Ph.D. degree in Materials Science and Technology in 2008, both at Politecnico di Torino. From January 2008, he worked with a 2-year post-doc fellowship in Materials Science and Chemical Engineering Department at Politecnico di Torino. At the end of 2009 he hold lectures as Invited Professor at SUPSI (Scuola Universitaria Professionale della Svizzera Italiana) in Manno. Since January 2010 he joined IIT as a post-Doc Researcher in the Center for Space Human Robotics.

His research activity is now focused on lightweight structural materials for robotics applications developed through Additive Manufacturing and, more specifically, through Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) technique.
