GIOVANNA GALTIERI

Giovanna Galtieri, Professor of Instrumental Analysis and Materials Control at the Engineering Faculty of the eCampus University. She graduated in Materials Engineering (108/110) at the University of Messina in 2002 with a degree thesis entitled “Survey and study of the wear of inserts in ceramic materials and carbides coated with polycrystalline diamond in the turning of MMC”. She received her PhD in Chemistry and Materials Engineering from the University of Messina in 2014 with a doctoral thesis entitled “Design and optimization of hybrid joints with statistical and numerical methods”. Previously, she worked as Research and Development Manager at the technical office of the Aicon Yachts S.p.A. in Giammoro – Messina.

Her research concerns hybrid, mechanical and adhesive joints between different substrates, and coatings with nanocomposite materials (thermosetting resins and carbon nanotubes).
