About
Paola Di Mascio is a road infrastructure researcher whose work sits at the intersection of pavement engineering, autonomous robotics, and sustainable urban mobility. She is best known for her leading contributions to the European Commission's Horizon 2020 **InfraROB** project, a landmark initiative dedicated to enhancing road safety and maintenance through autonomous robotic solutions. Her research has pioneered the development of low-cost, high-performance systems for pothole detection, 3D reconstruction, and automated repair — combining photogrammetry, robotized carriers, and innovative cold-asphalt 3D-printing technologies to address one of urban infrastructure's most persistent challenges. Di Mascio's most cited work, a 2023 study on a Raspberry-based pothole mapping system (20 citations), exemplifies her commitment to accessible, scalable engineering solutions. Alongside colleagues, she has also explored eco-efficient pavement materials for cycling infrastructure, reflecting a broader concern for sustainable, zero-impact transport systems aligned with EU climate policy. Her cumulative citation record — spanning pothole repair robotics, materials science, and green pavement design — underscores her growing influence in smart road maintenance. For students and researchers exploring the future of intelligent infrastructure, Di Mascio's portfolio offers a compelling model of applied, socially impactful engineering science.
