Daniel Milanese has been a Full Professor of Materials Science and Technology at the University of Parma since 2019. He obtained his Ph.D. in Materials Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Milan in 2001 and then worked as a Researcher (2002-2014) and Associate Professor (2014-2019) at the Polytechnic University of Turin.

His research interests include the study and fabrication of sustainable materials for packaging, construction, and industrial applications. His work covers the entire value chain from polymer matrix synthesis to processing and the creation of functional samples and prototypes. Daniel Milanese also collaborates with the Structural Engineering group at the University of Parma to create sustainable cementitious materials containing inorganic and organic waste through the selection and characterization of waste materials and verifying their integration into cementitious materials.

Daniel Milanese is the author of over 190 peer-reviewed articles and 2 European patents. He has participated in several research projects, is the coordinator of the H2020 MSCA-ITN project “Photonics for Healthcare: multiscale cancer diagnostic and therapy – PHAST,” and is the Scientific Coordinator for the University of Parma of the PRIN 2022 NOVAPACK project. Prof. Milanese has spent periods conducting research at the Optoelectronics Research Center at the University of Southampton (UK), the College of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona (USA), and the Research Laboratory of Electronics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA). He has been an Associate Editor of the OSA Journal Optical Materials Express (2014-2018), is the Rector’s delegate for technology transfer at the University of Parma, and is a Senior Member of Optica, a member of the Italian Association of Materials Engineering (AIMAT), and the Italian Association of Macromolecular Science and Technology (AIM).
