Biography
Angelo La Rosa is pursuing his PhD in the School of Engineering at London South Bank University. Currently his research studies include in-depth comprehension of the mechanisms involved to graft the surface of the silica particles with tailored silanes. His PhD work is involved in Work Package 2 (WP2) of the EIROS European project which aims to fabricate advanced materials having anti-erosion and anti-icing properties through the incorporation of super hydrophobic silica particles as additive material into available-in-the-market-materials (epoxy resins or paints). The work is carried out into the National Structural Integrity Research Centre, a state-of-the-art postgraduate engineering facility established and managed by structural integrity specialist TWI.
