Prof. Giovanni CELANO

Dr. Giovanni CELANO is currently a Professor in Technology and Manufacturing Systems (Sector code 09/B1 – INGIND/16) in University of Catania (Italy), Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture (following the Department of Industrial Engineering closure).

He was awarded the Italian national scientific qualification ("abilitazione scientifica nazionale") as full professor in the Sector 09/B1 “Tecnologie e sistemi di lavorazione” (Technology and Manufacturing Systems) up to 20 July 2026. Previously, he achieved the PhD degree in 2003 in Manufacturing Engineering – University of Palermo (Italy) with the Thesis Title: “Mathematical models for the sequencing of mixed model assembly lines”.

Research interests:

- The study and development of advanced statistical process monitoring tools. In particular, the largest part of research activities has been focused on the design of control charts for monitoring:

• Finite horizon processes, (small production runs, low-volume production);
• Non-normal observations, (distribution-free control charts);
• The coefficient of variation and ratio of random variables;
• Statistical process monitoring of extremes.

- Development of operational research models for the scheduling of manufacturing processes and assembly lines;

- Economic optimization of machining operations and multi-pass manufacturing processes.

Prof. Giovanni CELANO's contribution to the Chair and other Chair members will gain new studies about Explainable Artificial Intelligence applications in intelligent wearable systems, manufacturing, and healthcare areas. His studies and studies at IAD perfectly align to reach Industry 5.0 in the future.
