Luca Raimondi received his PhD in Mechanics and Advanced Engineering Sciences in 2022 and has been an Assistant Professor in the academic discipline of Manufacturing Technologies and Systems at the University of Bologna since 2023. His research focuses on the manufacturing and modelling of composite materials and processes, joining technologies, and hybrid advanced composites. His main interests include polymer composite processing, process–structure–property relationships, lightweight structures, hybrid metal–composite joints, and the experimental and numerical characterization of mechanical behavior and damage mechanisms.
