My research is structured around two main streams: human–robot collaboration (HRC) and supply chain design and management, both framed within Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 and guided by sustainability, circular economy, and inclusivity principles. In the HRC domain, I focus on human-centric and inclusive-by-design workspaces, advancing toward human-robot embodiment paradigms where humans and robots operate as mutually integrated agents. My work aims to enhance ergonomics, accessibility, system performance and operator well-being, supporting diverse user profiles and improving collaboration quality in industrial environments. In parallel, my research on supply chain design and management addresses Closed-Loop Supply Chains (CLSC), with a specific focus on remanufacturing, disassembly processes, and reverse logistics systems. I also investigate how product complexity, uncertainty, and disruptions affect circular flows, developing analytical and data-driven approaches to improve robustness, resilience, and sustainability performance. Additionally, I consider sustainable luxury supply chains as a relevant application domain, analyzing how value preservation and consumer behavior influence the implementation of circular strategies in high-value products.
