Michele LAUS

Michele LAUS is a Full Professor in the Department of Science and Technological Innovation at the University of Eastern Piedmont 'Amedeo Avogadro', where he maintains an active research profile spanning polymer chemistry, nanotechnology, and materials science. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals through sustainable materials development.

His research focuses on Materials Science, particularly Polymer Chemistry and Nanotechnology, with specialization in liquid crystals, block copolymers, polystyrene systems, poly methyl methacrylate, thin films, and surface science. Key research areas include polymer self-assembly, nanoscale patterning, and sustainable materials engineering for circular economy applications.

Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate a strong trend toward nanoelectronics applications and sustainable polymer systems, with significant work on CO₂-utilizing polycarbonates, neuromorphic computing materials, and catalyst residue management in polymer recycling. His fingerprint analysis reveals dominant expertise in liquid crystal materials (100%), block copolymers (74%), and polystyrene systems (64%).

Current research projects include:

• DoNQu (2025-2026): Deterministic doping for nanoelectronics and quantum devices with CSIC
• SMIP (2024-2027): Microelectronic system-in-package development with Regione Piemonte
• RECIPLAST (2019-2022): Circular economy approaches for plastic recycling in packaging and automotive sectors
• CRYSTAL (2013-present): Crystalline structures as nanoscale length standards with European Commission

Professor LAUS has supervised 3 graduate students and produced 326 research outputs including 264 articles, 18 patents, and 16 conference papers. His work shows consistent productivity with 6-14 annual publications over the past decade, maintaining active collaborations across European institutions and industry partners.
