Associate Professor Leandro Bolzoni is a world leader in the realm of titanium alloys and economic, environmentally-friendly ways to produce them.
Strong, light, corrosion-resistant and biocompatible, titanium and titanium alloys are invaluable to the aerospace, land transport and biomedical industries. However, use has been limited by high extraction and manufacturing costs compared to other materials. Associate Professor Bolzoni’s ground-breaking work has proven some previously unstudied alloys to be both inexpensive and high-performing. He has also pioneered reliable manufacturing methods that can be applied at an industrial scale with less energy demand and environmental impact than current approaches.
