I had an initial on-site discussion with Chris Brown, focusing on applying Axiomatic Design (AD) to enhance SME resilience within Work Package 5.2.
Topics included how well AD is working for this procedure (e.g., the decomposition and interpretation of the "10 Rs"), and potential burdens on functional requirements (FRs).
The meeting concluded with a tour of the lab facilities at WPI.

Ms. Bonello, along with Prof. Ing. Emmanuel Francalanza, attended the SME5.0 Winter Doctoral School organised by the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano and held at the NOI TechPark in Bruneck-Brunico.
This Winter School served as an indispensable asset for Ms Bonello to strengthen her academic and PhD skills (see below section), to strengthen collaborations with other PhD students at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano and the SMF team, and to foster novel collaborations and network with Phd students from Austria, USA, Germany, Italy, Columbia and India.
Ms Bonello visited the Fraunhofer Italia Headquarters at the NOI Techpark in Bolzano, after an invitation from Dr Andrea Giusti who is in charge of the Robotics Arena. Dr Giusti explained the current research topics being undertaken by Fraunhofer Italia with regards to robotics.

I participated in a research workshop with Dr. Wen Li’s group and his colleagues at the University of Melbourne, focusing on topics related to Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0.
During the workshop, we had in-depth discussions on various enabling factors, challenges, and research directions within both industrial paradigms, particularly regarding human-centric innovation, digital transformation, and sustainable production.
I also had the opportunity to present my previous and ongoing research projects related to Industry 5.0, including initiatives on digitalisation, human-technology interaction, and sustainable manufacturing systems.
