Biography

Francesco Baino is an Associate Professor of Materials Science and Technology (IMAT-01/A) in the Department of Applied Science and Technology (DISAT), Politecnico di Torino, Italy. He received his M.S. in Biomedical Engineering (summa cum laude) in July 2006 and his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Technology in March 2010, both from Politecnico di Torino. He joined DISAT as a post-doc in January 2010, was appointed as an Assistant Professor in January 2017, then as a tenure-track Senior Assistant Professor in November 2018 and eventually as an Associate Professor in November 2021. Prof. Baino has been Section Editor-in-Chief of the journal Materials (MDPI) in the section Advanced and Functional Ceramics and Glasses (March 2021-January 2024) and is currently Associate Editor of the International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology (Wiley) (since January 2021) and of Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology (Frontiers Ltd) (since July 2015). Prof. Baino has published more than 250 peer-reviewed scientific journal articles, 40 book chapters, 110 abstracts or contributions in congress proceedings and is author of 3 patents. His H-index is 60, with a total number of citations around 12,200 (Scopus database). He is member of the American Ceramic Society since 2018 in the Bioceramics Division. His current research interests include biomaterials and tissue engineering with special focus on bioceramics and bioactive glasses, ceramics for sustainable applications, processing and testing of advanced ceramics. According to a scientometric study performed by Stanford University, which was first published in PLOS Biology in 2021 and has been then annually updated, Prof. Baino is listed among the 2% top-cited scientists in the world.
