Porous Bioceramics for Biomedical Applications: Fundamentals, Properties, Processing and Applications (Elsevier Series in Advanced Ceramic Materials) - Softcover

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Francesco Baino is an Associate Professor of Materials Science and Technology in the Department of Applied Science and Technology, Politecnico di Torino, Italy. He received his M.S. in Biomedical Engineering (summa cum laude) in 2006 and his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Technology in 2010, both from the Politecnico di Torino. His current research interests include biomaterials and tissue engineering with special focus on bioceramics and bioactive glasses, as well as the processing and testing of advanced ceramics. Prof. Baino has published more than 250 peer-reviewed publications (journal articles/book chapters) and is the author of 3 patents. He is an active member of the American Ceramic Society, and is currently

Section Editor-in-Chief [Advanced and Functional Ceramics] for the MDPI Journal on Materials. He is also an Associate Editor for the International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology (Wiley) and Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology (Frontiers Media).

Maziar Montazerian is an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University. His academic background and industrial working experience as a ceramic/glass engineer have prepared him to be a researcher and instructor. His doctoral dissertation was conducted in Iran and Brazil through the support of The World Academy of Science. He examined the effects of zirconia addition on the biological and mechanical properties of gel-derived bioactive glass-ceramics in which both radiopacity and bioactivity requirements were explicitly satisfied. Then, his current interests revolve around advancing models and methodologies for designing, evaluating, and enhancing biomaterials, with a particular focus on bio-glasses and dental glass-ceramics. His research also encompasses tests, improvement, or development of nucleation and growth models for glasses. Some of his works have been recognized and published in renowned scientific journals such as Chemical Reviews, Progress in Materials Science, International Materials Review, Acta Biomaterialia, and JACerS. Beyond his scholarly contributions, Dr. Montazerian has also made contributions to the ceramic industry, leading workshops on digital printing technology and defect diagnosis and therapy. This practical experience as an engineer has provided him with a broad perspective, enabling him to effectively assist researchers in both scientific and industrial projects. Before joining the Penn State, Dr. Montazerian worked as a professor at the northeast reference laboratory for the evaluation and development of biomaterials (CERTBIO) at the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG) in Brazil. He is also the associate/guest editor of the Journal of the American Ceramic Society, International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, Materials-MDPI, Frontiers in Research Metrics and Analytics, and the member of the American Ceramic Society.
