About

Manuel D. Rossetti is a leading researcher in healthcare systems engineering, with a primary focus on the simulation and optimization of hospital logistics and clinical delivery systems. His major contributions center on the application of discrete-event simulation to evaluate and improve the performance of automated material transport, particularly through the use of mobile robots in hospital settings. Rossetti’s work has demonstrated how flexible automation can reduce operating costs and enhance delivery reliability in mid-size hospitals, with key studies such as "Mobile Robot Simulation of Clinical Laboratory Deliveries" (2012, 36 citations) and "Simulation of robotic courier deliveries in hospital distribution services" (2000, 29 citations) providing foundational insights. His most cited paper, "Multi-objective analysis of hospital delivery systems" (2001, 47 citations), advances decision-making frameworks for balancing efficiency and cost in healthcare logistics. Additionally, his early work on "Robotic automation of coagulation analysis" (1998, 14 citations) highlights his broader impact on clinical laboratory automation. With over 150 total citations across his top papers, Rossetti’s research remains influential for students and practitioners seeking to integrate simulation and robotics into healthcare operations.
