Massimo Messori

Massimo Messori is a Full Professor at the Department of Applied Science and Technology (DISAT) of Politecnico di Torino. He serves as Coordinator of the Doctoral School in Materials Science and Technology and Deputy Coordinator of the College of Chemical and Materials Engineering. His affiliations include membership in the Interdepartmental Center IAM@PoliTo and the National Interuniversity Consortium for Materials Science and Technology (INSTM).

• Laurea in Industrial Chemistry (1992), University of Bologna
• Ph.D. in Industrial Chemistry (1997), University of Bologna
• Research Assistant (1999-2002), University of Bologna
• Associate Professor (2002-2017), University of Modena and Reggio Emilia
• Full Professor (2017-2021), University of Modena and Reggio Emilia
• Full Professor (2021-present), Politecnico di Torino

Messori's research focuses on polymer synthesis, modification, and characterization with emphasis on additive manufacturing and sustainable materials. His current work includes photopolymerizable resins for 3D/4D printing and valorization of agro-industrial wastes as biopolymer additives. He leads projects like FIBRA (sustainable brake pads) and MUSTANG (polymer sustainability).

His article trends show expertise in photopolymerization, bio-based composites, shape-memory polymers, environmental remediation materials, and sustainable manufacturing. He actively supervises PhD students in these domains.

He co-founded spinoffs MAT3D (special resins) and Agromateriae (bio-composites from waste). His teaching spans Materials Engineering, Additive Manufacturing, and Sustainable Design.
