Assitent professor in the field of Materials Science and Technology, he deals with the study and development of surface treatments applied to metallic materials for use in the biomedical field. After obtaining a Master's degree in Process and Materials Engineering, he did his PhD in Materials Chemistry at Kyoto Institute of Technology (京都工芸繊維大学) with a thesis entitled "Innovative approaches to biomaterials' technology through systematic spectroscopic analyses". During his study period abroad, he worked on the study of surface chemistry and functionalisation of materials used in prosthetics. He exploited the chemistry of oxide and non-oxide ceramics.
This research activity, in collaboration with the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Osaka University, Amedica Co. and Shinsei Co. was divided into two main strands: the first concerned the functionalisation of biocompatible titanium alloys, while the second focused on modulating the surface chemistry of non-oxide ceramics to stimulate osteoinductive activity and at the same time reduce bacterial proliferation on these surfaces.

Currently working at the Polytechnic Department of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Udine, he works on evaluating how surface treatments and coatings can influence the biocompatibility, antibacterial properties and corrosion rate of resorbable and non-resorbable metallic materials. Author and co-author of several publications in international journals and referee for some of them, speaker at national and international conferences and scientific meetings.
