Marcello Laurenti

Marcello Laurenti holds a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering and a master’s degree in chemical and materials engineering from Sapienza University of Rome, graduating with top grades (110/110 cum laude). During his master’s thesis, he conducted research at the Plasma Science Fusion Center (PSFC) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he worked on a time mesh-independent framework for learning materials' constitutive relationships. This research was funded by scholarships from ENI, the MIT Energy Initiative, and AIDIC. His work primarily focuses on materials modeling and advanced computational approaches in materials science.

He is currently working at the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at Sapienza University. He is responsible for supervising and developing advanced artificial intelligence tools aimed at modeling both the static and dynamic mechanical behavior of additively manufactured materials. This includes creating predictive frameworks to evaluate material performance under various conditions, addressing challenges such as anisotropy, complex geometries, and variable test environments. Additionally, he is working on the development of AI tools for generating realistic topologies of strut-like additive-manufactured specimens, enabling more accurate simulations and analyses of these structures.
