📝Work Experience:

Luigi Lentini began his post-doctoral journey with a scholarship at Politecnico di Torino, Turin (Italy), from May 2017 to May 2018. During this period, he worked on the dynamic identification of aerostatic bearings as part of the “Mathematical models of air bearings” project at the Hexagon Technology Center, under the supervision of Prof. Terenziano Raparelli. Subsequently, Luigi secured a Post-Doc Fellowship (RTDA) at Politecnico di Torino from May 2018 to August 2022. His research focused on dynamic identification of aerostatic bearings, compensation methods for gas bearings, pneumatic valves, pneumatically actuated cart-inverted pendulum, and seals for pneumatic cylinders. He collaborated with a research group consisting of Prof. Terenziano Raparelli, Prof. Luigi Mazza, Prof. Vladimir Viktorov, Prof. Andrea Trivella, and Prof. Federico Colombo. Currently, Luigi is engaged in a Post-Doc Fellowship (RTDB) at Politecnico di Torino since August 2022. His research continues to center around high-speed spindle supported by aerostatic bearings, porous bearings, compensation methods for gas bearings, pneumatic valves, and friction models for pneumatic cylinders. He works closely with Prof. Terenziano Raparelli, Prof. Luigi Mazza, Prof. Andrea Trivella, and Prof. Federico Colombo.
