About

Francesca Michelino is a dynamic researcher whose work sits at the intersection of digital transformation, sustainable supply chain management, and emerging technology adoption. Her scholarship explores how cutting-edge technologies — including artificial intelligence, blockchain, and three-dimensional printing — can be harnessed to drive both industrial innovation and sustainable development across global supply chains. Michelino's most influential contribution, "Industry 5.0 and Triple Bottom Line Approach in Supply Chain Management" (2023), has already accumulated 77 citations, reflecting the growing urgency among academics and practitioners to reconcile digital advancement with environmental and social responsibility. Her methodological rigor is equally evident in her widely cited framework for analyzing emerging technology adoption (47 citations), which provides researchers with a structured lens for investigating complex, fast-moving fields. More recently, Michelino has pushed boundaries by developing AI-powered methodologies to uncover untested technological opportunities — identifying novel applications in unexplored industries — and by systematically mapping how AI is reshaping Research and Development and Engineering processes. Across her body of work, she demonstrates a rare ability to blend systematic literature analysis with forward-looking technological insight, making her scholarship an essential reference for researchers navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of Industry 5.0 and digital innovation.
