MSCA DN Unipd Supervisor: Giovanni Lucchetta

Giovanni Lucchetta is Associate Professor in Manufacturing Engineering at the University of Padua. His research is focused on forming technologies for polymeric materials and microtechnologies, with particular reference to injection moulding. The main research topics are: i) replication of microstructured and nanostructured surfaces for microfluidic and biomedical applications; ii) injection moulding of biopolymer compounds; iii) modelling and characterisation of the tribological effects of mould surface properties in injection micro-moulding.
Prof. Lucchetta has participated in several national and international research projects evaluated by peer review. As an Associate Member of the International Academy for Production Engineering (CIRP), Prof. Lucchetta has an active role in the Scientific Technical Committees on Surfaces and Forming. He has been a Polymer Processing Society (PPS) community member since 2010 and President of the Italian Division of the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE).
Prof. Lucchetta is the author of more than 120 publications in international journals or in the proceedings of indexed international conferences. The majority of these are related to injection moulding and published in peer-reviewed journals.
