Roberto Sala is assistant professor at the Department of Management, Information and Production Engineering of the University of Bergamo (Italy) where he is also member of the CELS Research Group on Industrial Systems Engineering, Logistics, and Service Operations. He received his PhD in Technology, Innovation, and Management at the University of Bergamo in 2021 with a thesis on data-driven decision-making processes to improve the maintenance service delivery. His research interests gravitate around data-driven decision-making, maintenance, Industry 4.0, and product-service systems. He has participated into multiple projects at Regional, National and European level in these research areas.
