Notes
Roberto Pantani was born in Nocera Inferiore (Salerno) in 1971. In 1989 he took with full marks a diploma of scientific high school (Liceo Scientifico). From 1989 to 1995 he was a student at University of Salerno, Department of Chemical Engineering. In this period he took part to the Erasmus project for 6 months at University Of Glamorgan, Pontypridd - Wales, and gained an internship of 3 months at European Technical Centre of Procter & Gamble in Brussels. In 1995 he graduated "cum laude" defending a thesis on shrinkage in injection moulded PolyStyrene. From 1997 to 1999 he was a PhD student in "Technology of New Materials" at University of Palermo. In this period he spent some research periods abroad (1998: City College of City University of New York, 1998: Technical University of Eindhoven, 1999: University of Minho Pt). He gained the PhD degree in February 2000, defending a thesis entitled "Analysis of Shrinkage Development in Injection Moulded Samples". From 1999 to 2001 he gained a research fellowship at University of Salerno, Dept. of Chemical Engineering, in "Processing and Characterisation of Polymeric Materials". From September 2001 to September 2007 he has been an assistant professor of Transport Phenomena at University of Salerno, Dept. of Chemical Engineering; from October 2007 to September 2017 he has been is Associate Professor at the same Department.
