About
Dr. Germana Pasquino is a leading figure in advanced manufacturing, with her research at the intersection of robotics and composite materials processing. Her work is pivotal in translating the principles of Industry 4.0 into tangible manufacturing innovations, specifically targeting the automation of liquid composite molding. Her most-cited paper, "Modeling and Simulation of the Robotic Layup of Fibrous Preforms for Liquid Composite Molding" (2021), with 7 citations, provides a foundational framework for integrating robotic cells into the precise layup of fibrous preforms—a critical step in producing high-performance composite parts. This contribution addresses a key bottleneck in composite manufacturing by replacing manual, error-prone processes with automated, repeatable robotic systems. By developing robust models and simulations, Dr. Pasquino enables manufacturers to optimize layup trajectories, reduce material waste, and enhance part quality. Her work not only advances the scientific understanding of robotic manipulation of flexible materials but also offers a practical roadmap for implementing smart, flexible production lines. Through this research, she is helping to usher in a new era of efficient, data-driven composite manufacturing, directly impacting sectors from aerospace to automotive.
