Stefano Pagano received his M.S. and PhD degrees in mechanical engineering in 1988 and in 1993, respectively. From 1994 to 2001, he was a research fellow. Since 2001, he has been an associate professor of “Mechanics Applied to Machines” at the University of Naples Federico II, Italy. His research covers the following topics: the development and dynamic behaviour of Coriolis mass flow meters, nonlinear dynamics of the rotors on lubricated bearings, self-excited vibrations, motorcycle kinematics and dynamics, mechanical vibration isolation, rover dynamics, development and control of machines for the characterization of anti-vibration devices, and mobile robots equipped with kinematic suspensions.
