About

Foivos Psarommatis is a leading researcher at the forefront of sustainable manufacturing, whose work is reshaping how industry approaches quality and waste. His primary research areas converge on the ambitious paradigm of Zero-Defect Manufacturing (ZDM) and Zero-Waste Manufacturing, with a specific focus on product reuse, repurposing, and the integration of advanced inspection technologies. Psarommatis’s major contributions lie in systematically identifying the critical barriers to implementing circular economy principles in manufacturing. His highly cited 2025 review on product reuse and repurposing (23 citations) provides a seminal roadmap for overcoming these challenges, while his work on non-destructive inspection technologies (14 citations) establishes a crucial link between defect prevention and material conservation. He has also pioneered a science and technology roadmap for robotic in-line quality inspection, a forward-looking framework designed to make ZDM a practical reality for flexible, high-mix production lines. Through this impactful body of work, Psarommatis is not only advancing academic theory but also providing the actionable strategies needed to build a more resilient, resource-efficient, and sustainable manufacturing future.
