Biography
Aniello Costantini is Professor of Chemistry since December 2004 in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Materials and Industrial Production at the University of Naples Federico II. He received his Master Science (Laurea) in Engineering with full marks and honours from the University of Naples Federico II. He received his PhD in Materials Engineering from the same University. Until January 2023, he appears as author in more than 111 publications in international high quality peer reviewed journals. His research work has been focused on the synthesis of glasses, ceramics, glass-ceramics and nanostructured hybrids. He is highly skilled in synthesis and functionalization of ceramic nanostructures through sol-gel method. Accurate design of process parameters has been exploited to produce ceramic and hybrid nanostructures, tuning size, shape and surface chemistry to obtain bioactive hybrids and nanocomposites, multifunctional coatings, smart drug delivery carriers, mesoporous silica materials as supports for enzyme immobilization.
