Detailed topics:

Luca’s research is centered on the steelmaking industry sustainability, a well-known carbon intensive sector with relevant environmental impact. His research project named SUSTEEL aims to explore the sustainability-property nexus of steel-based materials and products. As sustainability encompasses environment, society, and governance, its assessment is conducted via Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) and Social LCA (S-LCA) while material properties are investigated using appropriate mechanical and microstructural investigation techniques (e.g. XRD and SEM).
