About

Elisa Batoni is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of advanced manufacturing, robotics, and biomedical engineering, with a particular focus on additive manufacturing and in situ bioprinting. Her work has garnered significant attention in the scientific community, accumulating over 100 citations across her key publications and establishing her as an emerging leader in these rapidly evolving fields. Batoni's most influential contribution, a fully automatic non-planar slicing algorithm for additive manufacturing (2023, 38 citations), introduced a breakthrough approach to fabricating complex geometries by intelligently combining planar and non-planar layers — a technique with profound implications for precision manufacturing. Complementing this, her substantial body of work on robotic-based in situ bioprinting has pushed the boundaries of regenerative medicine. She has developed sophisticated systems for surface reconstruction and tissue recognition, motion compensation to counteract patient physiological movements, and automatic photo-cross-linking — collectively addressing the most critical challenges of depositing biomaterials directly within a living physiological environment. Her most recent platform (2025) further advances the field through multi-material, multi-scale robotic bioprinting with fully automated tool-changing capabilities. Batoni's research represents a compelling fusion of engineering precision and biomedical innovation with real-world clinical potential.
