About

Dr. Marcantonio Catelani is a leading figure in reliability engineering and sensor metrology, whose work bridges the gap between theoretical stress testing and real-world industrial performance. His research focuses on two critical, interconnected domains: the smart maintenance of linear infrastructure assets and the rigorous performance analysis of MEMS-based Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs). In the first area, his seminal 2018 paper, “Smart maintenance and inspection of linear assets: An Industry 4.0 approach” (38 citations), provides a foundational framework for applying Industry 4.0 principles to the continuous deterioration patterns of pipelines, railways, and roads. His most significant contributions, however, lie in the second domain, where he has systematically characterized how vibration, temperature, and combined environmental stresses degrade the accuracy and reliability of low-cost IMUs used in everything from autonomous vehicles to drones. With over 130 combined citations across his top works—including his 2020 testbed development paper (31 citations) and his 2022 stress testing methodology (20 citations)—Dr. Catelani has established a rigorous, experimental benchmark for the field. His notable achievements include the design of novel sine-on-random vibration tests and temperature stress protocols that directly inform more robust sensor design for avionic and automotive applications.
