Sergio Scudino

Dr. Sergio Scudino is a senior researcher at Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden (IFW Dresden) in the Solidification Processes and Complex Structures department. With over 200 journal publications and extensive contributions to additive manufacturing research, his work focuses on advanced metallic materials including bulk metallic glasses, high-entropy alloys, and metal matrix composites.

Key research areas include:

• Additive manufacturing of biomedical implants and structural alloys
• Mechanical behavior of metallic glasses
• Nanoparticle-reinforced composites
• Microstructure-property relationships
• Phase transformation engineering

Recent publications highlight:

• 2025: Medical stent fabrication via laser powder bed fusion
• 2024: Hierarchical high-entropy alloy design
• 2023: Crack-free tool steel manufacturing and shear band tomography

His work often involves synchrotron radiation analysis, wear resistance optimization, and microstructural characterization using advanced electron microscopy techniques.

Collaborations span multiple institutions, with frequent co-authorship with groups at TU Dresden, Central South University, and international teams studying metallic glass composites and biomedical alloys.
