**Senior Researcher, Materias**Over five years of experience at Materias, I have undertaken various activities focused on the production and characterization of polymeric materials, allowing me to develop cross-functional skills in research and development of innovative material-based solutions. Particularly, I am responsible for the development of a patented technology concerning the production of gradient-expanded plastic materials with advanced properties. Below is a summary of the activities I engage in and the skills I have acquired:- CAD design, CAE analysis and simulation, and material characterization.- Proficiency in physical-chemical, thermal, mechanical, and rheological characterization.- Experience in designing polymer production processes, including equipment and mold design, plant layout, SOP development, and parameter optimization.- Synthesis of R&I results into comprehensive technical reports.- Project management from conception to completion, defining objectives, milestones, and timelines.- Communication of results and updates to project partners.**Project: Perfoamances - Advanced Gradient Foam Design and Production**- Formulation of theoretical model.- Design of laboratory-scale reactor process.- Development of processing procedures, molds, and configurations for component installation and assembly.- Mechanical characterization of samples.- Design of industrial-scale process.**Key Projects Participated in as PM or Key Person**- Project: AdVantGuard - Sports protection through gradient foamingPOR FESR CAMPANIA 2014/2020 PUBLIC NOTICE CAMPAIGN START UP 2020Total amount: €167,723.54.- Project: Leonardo - Borgo 4.0 - Eco-sustainable solutions for driver comfortPOR Campania FESR 2014/2020 O.S. 1.1 Az. 1.1.4. - CUP B32C18000340007 - PSC Campania
