Brief teacher's sheet:

Paolo Ferro is associate professor of Metallurgy and Selection and Choice of Materials at the University of Padua. He graduated in Materials Engineering (with the assessment of 110/110 cum laude) and obtained the title of Doctor of Metallurgical Engineering at the same University. From January 2006 to April 2015 he was Researcher at the Department of Technology and Management of Industrial Systems. He was scientific director of the research program "Numerical and experimental determination of residual stresses in welded joints and their influence on fatigue resistance" (Young Researchers Project, 2003-2004) and won the prize for young researchers 'Aldo Daccò' 2002. Paolo Ferro is a member of the CMBM (Centre for Mechanics of Biological Materials) and the Board of Directors of the IGF (Italian fracture group). He is also chairman of ESIS TC18 dedicated to the structural integrity of welded joints and member of ESIS TC15 related to the structural integrity of components in additive manufacturing. His main research topics are the analytical and numerical modeling of welding and heat treatment processes and the development of design criteria, based on field parameters (NSIF, SED), which include the effect of residual stresses on the fatigue strength of welded joints. Paolo Ferro is also involved in the modeling of the kinetics of precipitation and dissolution of secondary phases in stainless steels Duplex and Superduplex induced by heat treatments and the mechanical and metallurgical characterization of cast iron castings of large thickness with special attention to new generation alloys (SSF-DI). In the end, he works on issues related to critical raw materials. He has published more than 200 works and is Publisher of the book entitled Residual Stress Analysis on Welded Joints by Means of Numerical Simulation and Experiments (IntechOpen Publishing). In addition to being topic editor for Metals magazine, and being part of the editorial board of the magazines 'Advances in Materials Science and Engineering', 'SciFed Journal of Metallurgical Science', 'American Journal of Materials & Applied Science' and 'Scientific journal of Material Science & Engineering (SJMSE)', Materials Design & Processing Communications' is a scientific auditor for many other international journals and national and international funding agencies. Finally, Paolo Ferro is scientific coordinator of the national research program on the mechanical characterization of cast iron castings with high thickness, coordinator of the European project on critical raw materials (DERMAP, Design of components in a critical Raw material Perspective) and coordinator of 4 Erasmus streams to Norway, Spain, the Czech Republic and Romania.
