Biography

Sergio Caserta was born in Naples in 1977; from 2016 he is Associate Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Materials and Industrial Production, University of Naples Federico II. Graduated with honors in Chemical Engineering in 2001, he obtained a PhD in Chemical Engineering in 2004, dealing with morphology in flow of polyphase fluids. He worked at the Newcastle Technical Center at Proceter & Gamble, UK (2001) at the Department of Computational Science and Engineering at Nagoya University, Japan (2002, Prof. M. Doi.), And at the Department of Mathematics and Biomedical Engineering , University of California, Irvine (2004, Prof. V. Cristini). The didactic activity focuses on thermodynamics and transport phenomena, and biomedical and biotechnological applications of the principles of chemical engineering. Research activities focus on: thermodynamics and microstructure transport systems, rheology, rheometry and reo-optics of non-Newtonian fluids and morphology of polyphase mixtures. Study of the dynamic evolution of cellular systems through automated time lapse microscopy techniques and image analysis. Transport of complex fluids into microstructured matrices. He is director of Panta Rei, a report from the Italian association of reolgia SIR and active as an auditor of several international journals in the areas of chemical engineering of biotechnology and biotechnology. Author of about 40 articles on peer review international journals and about 130 between book chapters and participation in national and inter-national conferences, 15 seminars and lectures on invitation, 4 patents for industrial invention.
