Our researchers worked very hard over these years toward this crucial goal for their careers. They successfully carried out their experimental activities and published their results in highly recognised peer-reviewed journals! If you like to find out more, here it is. Is all !! https://www.researchgate.net/project/CoACH-Advanced-glasses-Composites-And-Ceramics-for-High-growth-Industries-European-Training-Network-ETN-2

Now they are ready for their next career move. We are sure they will make the difference anywhere they are headed to and wish them all the best!! Go !!

Dr Matteo Cavasin graduated at Politecnico di Torino

We are pleased to announce that last week our ESR Pablo Lopez Iscoa successfully defended his doctoral thesis at the Politecnico di Torino, under the academic supervision of Prof Daniel Milanese and Prof Laeticia Petit.

His innovative work focused on the design, processing and characterization of optical glass fibres and coatings for healthcare industries performed in collaboration with nLIGHT, Diafir, Gruppo Colorobbia and Université de Rennes 1. We wish him all the best for his future!

¡Felicidades por tu graduación!

We are glad to announce that our ESR Francesco Gucci successfully defended his doctoral thesis at the Queen Mary University of London entitled 'Current Assisted Sintering of Thermoelectric Materials'.

Prof. Boccaccini celebrates 20 years of membership of the UK Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3)

Prof. Boccaccini joined the London based Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) (► https://www.iom3.org/) in 1998. At the time Boccaccini was research associate at Ilmenau University of Technology ( ► https://www.tu-ilmenau.de/ ). After moving to Imperial College London, Department of Materials (► http://www.imperial.ac.uk/materials/) (2000), he was elevated to Fellow of IOM3 in 2004. Prof. Boccaccini has been very active as IOM3 member/fellow, particularly serving in the Council of the London Materials Society (LMS) (► https://www.iom3.org/london-materials-society), the London chapter of IOM3, since 2002. Prof. Boccaccini was Chair of LMS Council in 2005-2006 (►https://www.iom3.org/sites/default/files/iom3-corp/LMS%202005-06%20Programme.pdf). Boccaccini has received several awards of IOM3, including the Verulam Medal and Prize (2003), the Ivor Jenkins Medal (2010) and the Pfeil Award (2016). Prof. Boccaccini said: "I am very proud of my long association with IOM3, specially my Fellowship and participation in the LMS. The Institute has been very important during different stages in my career, obviously very relevant during my 10 years at Imperial College London, but also later, since I moved to Erlangen".

We kicked off our 2-day Industrial Workshop on . Don't miss keynotes on groundbreaking technologies on , and tech! You find us in the Sala Consiglio di Facoltà at Politecnico di Torino.

Last week our ESR Cristian Marro attended the "26th International conference on Optical Fibres sensors" ( , https://www.ofs26.org/), taking place in Lausanne, Switzerland. In this occasion, he presented his work about "Optical Glass Fibre Sensor for early degradation detection in Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymers". Cristian is focusing on an innovative and cost-effective system to detect chemical species when those pe*****te composite materials, potentially inducing not desirable material degradation.

Congratulations to Nicoletta Toniolo, our first ESR to graduate in record time!! Last Friday she successfully defended her PhD thesis "Novel geopolymers incorporating silicate waste”. Her research work was performed under the supervision of Prof. Aldo R. Boccaccini (Institute of Biomaterials University of Erlangen - Nuremberg) in collaboration with Prof. Enrico Bernardo (Università degli Studi di Padova), Prof. Ivo Dlouhy (IPM, Brno, Czech Republic) and the industrial partner Sasil Srl (Italy).
Prof. Boccaccini highlighted the outstanding research work carried out by Nicoletta, who effectively established the laboratory in the Institute, which has opened new opportunities for experimental research projects in this exciting and relevant research field.

Well done Nicoletta, and best of luck for your future career!!

Nicoletta Toniolo's PhD graduation Nicoletta successfully defended her PhD thesis titled "Novel geopolymers incorporating silicate waste”. She has been supervised by Prof. Bocaccini, Bernardo and Dlouhy.

ESR Nicoletta Toniolo successfully defended her PhD thesis. She is the first to graduate within the CoACH project!

This week our ESRs Matteo Cavasin and Silviu Ivan are attending the "6th International Conference on Integrity-Reliability-Failure" (IRF2018), organised by the Universities of Porto and Toronto.
They presented their last experimental results about the ageing of materials when exposed to marine environment. Their work is carried out at the Element Materials Technology labs in Hitchin (UK), trying to deepen the understanding of the performance evolution of such materials when exposed to this harsh environment.
