Mattia Biesuz got a Ph.D. in “Materials Engineering” at the University of Trento (Italy) in 2017 defending a thesis on the flash sintering mechanisms in alumina and glass-containing alumina ceramics. Since then, he had several research experiences as a PostDoc in China, UK, Czech Republic, and Italy. His research interests currently include various sintering technologies for ceramics consolidation (flash sintering, spark plasma sintering, cold sintering, ultrafast high-temperature sintering), field-assisted ion exchange in glasses and glass-ceramics, porous materials, polymer-derived ceramics, and high-entropy compounds. His research has been mostly focused on underlying the peculiar physical-chemical effects activated by electric fields during ceramics processing. To date, he has published 78 manuscripts. His works have been awarded the “Pfeil Award” (Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, UK, 2020), “MRS Postdoctoral Award” (2022), the “Best Paper Award” in the Journal of the Asian Ceramics Societies (2019). He is an associate editor of Materials, and a member of MRS and ICerS.

We are pleased to mention that Dr. Mattia Biesuz is one of the winners of the Materials Travel Awards for 2021, on behalf of the Editor-in-Chief.
The Materials journal has organized the Travel Awards since 2018. Materials is very proud to support young scientists and will continue to acknowledge their work with a variety of award projects.
Moreover, we are happy to inform you that the Materials 2023 Travel Awards has also been launched; the nomination deadline is 31 December 2022. The announcement of the 2023 winners will be given at the beginning of the new year. We look forward to receiving more applications for the 2023 Travel Awards.
