Bio
Cesare Stefanini [M.Sc. in Mech. Eng. (honors): 1997, PhD in Microengineering (honors): 2002)] served as Assistant Professor, from November 2014 as Associate Professor and then from October 2018 as Full Professor at the BioRobotics Institute of Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna of Pisa, Italy, with the role of Area Leader in “Creative Engineering Design”. His research activity is applied to different fields, including small scale biorobotics, actuators for compliant robots, biomechatronics and micromechatronics for medical applications. He received international recognitions for the development of novel actuators for microrobots and he has been visiting researcher at the University of Stanford, Center for Design Research, where he focused his activity on the issue of high-efficient, high performance mechanisms for bio-robotics.
Prof. Stefanini has been the project manager of two European Projects, the first one addressing new bioinspired robotic artefacts, the second one aimed at developing new high precision manufacturing technologies for flexible, cost efficient and eco-friendly mass production of complex shape parts at the micro/meso-scale level. Prof. Stefanini is also founder of a spin-off company active in the field of micro-scale energy and actuation.
Prof. Stefanini is the author or co-author of more than fifty articles on refereed international journals, of more than seventy papers published in international conferences proceedings and of seven international patents, two of which industrially exploited by world-leading companies. His Scopus h-index is 17. He is member of the IEEE Societies RAS (Robotics and Automation), EMBS (Engineering in Medicine and Biology) and PES (Power and Energy).
