Biography
Dr. Costantini earned his MSc in Industrial Chemistry and his PhD in Chemical and Process Engineering from Sapienza University of Rome. He then pursued postdoctoral research at the Warsaw University of Technology, Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma, and the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
Since 2022, he is leading a multidisciplinary team at the same institute, operating at the interface of materials science, biology, and microfluidics. His research focuses on the development of digital manufacturing strategies for functionally graded porous materials with enhanced physicochemical properties, as well as on advanced methods for in vitro modeling and in vivo musculoskeletal regeneration.
