About
Andrea Zoppoli is a systems engineer and roboticist whose work is central to the future of large-scale scientific infrastructure, particularly in nuclear fusion and high-energy physics. Her primary research areas include systems engineering methodologies, remote handling (RH) systems, and the design of robotic platforms for hazardous environments. A key contribution is her application of the V-model systems engineering approach to the development of a new charging arm concept for the LHC’s robotic TIM (Train Inspection Monorail), a project that demonstrates how structured design processes can reduce costs and development time for complex mechatronic systems. Zoppoli is also a leading figure in the design of the REMHAT (Remote Handling Test and Training Facility) for the Divertor Tokamak Test (DTT) facility, where she is defining the preliminary architecture for a facility critical to validating RH maintenance procedures for fusion reactors. While her most cited papers (with 4 and 3 citations respectively) are recent, they represent foundational work in applied systems engineering for next-generation experimental facilities, showcasing her impact on the practical realization of advanced robotics for science.
