Curriculum

Gianpaolo Savio is associate professor in “Design Tools and Methods for Industrial Engineering” (ING-IND/15) at the University of Padua since 2015. His research focuses on methods for Computer-Aided Design especially for free-form surfaces in many fields such as ophthalmic, naval, biomedical, additive manufacturing and geometric product specifications. On these topics, he cooperated on various public or industry founded projects.
Gianpaolo Savio is active in the research community where he serves as reviver for international journals (International Journal of Engineering Science and Technology, Applied Surface Science, International Journal of Manufacturing Research, International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Archives of Mechanical Technology and Automation, Tribology International, Optical Engineering, Applied Optics, Engineering Science and Technology, an International Journal, Journal of Mechanical Science and Technology), as committee member or reviewer of international conferences (JCM2016, ICMM 2014, JCM2014, IMProVe2011), as author with more than 50 publications in international journals and conferences and as member of scientific organizations (DS – Design Society, ADM – Associazione Nazionale Disegno e Metodi dell'Ingegneria Industriale). Moreover over he participates as speaker or presenting posters to a number national and international workshops, conferences, tutorial and seminar.
Gianpaolo Savio graduated in Mechanical Engineering in 2004 at the University of Padua. In 2008 he obtained the PhD in Design and Methods for Industrial Engineering at the University of Bologna.
Since 2007 he teaches "Engineering drafting", "Technology and Technical Drawing", "Image processing for industrial design" and "Geometric modeling of mechanical systems" at the University of Padua. He was supervisor and tutor of a number of graduation and doctoral thesis.
From 2008 to 2015 he was a Research Assistant at the University of Padua and at the University of Ferrara.
In 2014 he obtained the “Abilitazione Scientifica Nazionale” SC 09/A3 - II Fascia.
