SHORT CV

He is currently working as a student in the 37th cycle of the PhD programme in Energy and Environmental Engineering Sciences with a project on optimising the solution heat treatment of Duplex steels used in thick castings and the search for new alloys to increase their mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
Previously, he was a Research Fellow at the same laboratory with a project concerning the development and characterisation of anti-wear coatings for mechanical components obtained by means of traditional and innovative technologies.
As far as education is concerned, after graduating from the I.T.I. A. Malignani Industrial Technical High School with a specialisation in Mechanics, he enrolled in the Bachelor's degree course in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Udine. After graduating cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, he followed a Master's degree in Metallurgical Engineering, both at the same university.
He has been a member of the Italian Metallurgy Association for several years and frequently attends its numerous training courses.
He also carries out teaching activities at the University, such as seminars, short courses and thesis revision. He has published several articles in various specialised journals and regularly participates in national and international conferences.
Continuous collaboration with various research groups and numerous companies has enabled him to develop transversal and teamwork skills.

SHORT CV

PhD student in the field of Materials Science and Technology, with a research focus on environmentally friendly and multifunctional organic coatings.

The research concerns industrial and materials engineering, focusing on the development of environmentally friendly and multifunctional coatings. These organic coatings combine different functions for clean environments, antibacterial properties, anti-adhesion and high durability with the use of natural materials and environmentally friendly additives. The aim is to reduce environmental impact through powder- or liquid-based coatings.

Formerly a student of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Udine, she discussed her master's thesis entitled 'Geopolymer coating on magnesium alloys: study of degradation in physiological solutions'.

SHORT CV

After completing her BSc in Biological Sciences at the University of Milan, she pursued her MSc in Functional Genomics at the University of Trieste. During her master's program, she worked on biomaterials for bone tissue engineering and discussed her thesis entitled "Study of the effect of silk proteins on 2D and 3D cell cultures".

She is currently pursuing a PhD in Environmental and Energy Engineering Science at the University of Udine. Her research focuses on an interdisciplinary project that involves the Polytechnic Department of Engineering and Architecture and the Department of Medicine. The project aims to develop and characterize novel surface coatings of titanium alloy for bone replacement. These coatings are made up of modified bioceramics, polymers, and their combinations and are deposited on metal-based implants to enhance osseointegration and prevent bacterial growth. This is particularly important as bacterial infections and/or poor osteointegration can cause severe complications and can significantly hinder the healing process.
