About

Alessia Serena Perna is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing and surface engineering, with a primary focus on cold spray deposition technologies. Her work has significantly advanced the understanding of how metallic coatings can be applied to polymeric and composite substrates—a critical challenge for industries ranging from aerospace to automotive. Her most-cited paper, "Cold Spray Deposition on Polymeric and Composite Substrates" (2020), has garnered 8 citations and serves as a foundational reference for researchers exploring lightweight, high-performance material systems. Perna’s contributions have helped bridge the gap between traditional thermal spray processes and the growing demand for additive manufacturing on temperature-sensitive materials. By elucidating the mechanisms of particle adhesion and substrate deformation, she has enabled more durable, corrosion-resistant coatings for non-metallic surfaces. Her work is particularly notable for its practical implications, offering scalable solutions for repairing and reinforcing composite structures. Through her research, Perna continues to shape the future of surface engineering, inspiring new generations of materials scientists to push the boundaries of what is possible with cold spray technology.
