Professor Antonio Zippo is a Professor of Mechanism and Machine Theory, Applied Mechanics, and Mechanical Vibration at the "Enzo Ferrari" Department of Engineering, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (UNIMORE). With a PhD in Advanced Mechanics and Vehicle Techniques, he specialises in nonlinear dynamics, vibration analysis, and predictive maintenance. His research covers chaos theory, fluid-structure interactions, bioengineering, and nonlinear dynamics of Parkinson’s disease. He has led and contributed to several high-profile projects, including NATO's CoMetA, THEORETIC, and REFIMAN, focusing on digital twins, predictive diagnostics, and sustainable technologies. His work has been supported by grants such as FAR2022 and CONSORZIO FUTURO IN RESEARCH for controlling pathological tremor dynamics. Professor Zippo teaches Multibody Dynamics, Mechanical Vibration, Prognostic and Predictive Maintenance courses, as well as others. He has published 84 articles, has an h-index of 13 with  412 citations, and was nationally qualified for Full Professor in 2023. His recent research emphasizes nonlinear dynamic coupling of electric powertrains and metamaterials. He is part of the Vibration, NVH, and Powertrain Laboratory at UNIMORE.
