Short bio

Marco Sebastiani is currently an associate professor of materials science at the University of Rome “Roma Tre”, and is serving as editor of the international journal “Materials and Design”. In the last few years, he was awarded with a Fulbright Scholarship, have already coordinated several large European projects (Horizon Europe, H2020 and FP7) and a large national project (PRIN2020). He has pioneered novel methods to measure residual stress at sub-micron scales (namely, the FIB-DIC micro-ring core), as well as innovative methodologies for nano-scale mechanical characterisation to measure fracture toughness in coatings and devices (namely, the pillar splitting method).
