About

Carlo Antonini is a leading researcher at the intersection of surface engineering, fluid dynamics, and advanced manufacturing. His work is defined by a deep commitment to understanding and controlling how liquids interact with solid surfaces, with profound implications for energy efficiency, water conservation, and sustainable materials. He is perhaps best known for his pioneering contributions to the design and fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces, where he has developed innovative methods to create durable, non-wetting coatings that can dramatically reduce drag, prevent ice formation, and enhance condensation heat transfer. His highly cited 2022 review on additive manufacturing by digital light processing (398 citations) underscores his expertise in translating fundamental surface science into scalable 3D printing technologies. Beyond this, his research on drop impact dynamics and liquid repellency has provided foundational insights for applications ranging from self-cleaning surfaces to anti-fouling coatings. With a publication record that has garnered thousands of citations, Antonini’s work bridges the gap between fundamental physical chemistry and real-world engineering solutions, establishing him as a key figure in the development of next-generation functional surfaces.
