Biosketch
Carlo Antonini received the BSc in Aerospace Engineering (2004) and the MSc in Aeronautical Engineering (2007), from Politecnico di Milano. and the PhD from University of Bergamo (2011), Italy. From 2012 to 2018 he worked in Zurich, first at ETH as post-doc, then at EMPA as scientist.
In 2018 he joined the Department of Materials Science at the University of Bicocca-Milano (Italy), where he created the “Surface Engineering and Fluid Interfaces Laboratory” (SEFI Lab, sefilab.mater.unimib.it). In 2021 he got tenured as associate professor. He is currently spending his sabbatical in Toronto.
Research
Carlo Antonini’s activity mainly focuses on three research pillars: (i) surface coatings for hydrophobicity and icephobicity; (ii) biopolymers (cellulose, chitosan, tamarind seed polysaccharide, etc) as functional materials; and (iii) 3D printing by digital light processing.
