Short Bio

L’Attività di ricerca del Prof. Torre si espleta principalmente nel campo dei materiali polimerici e dei compositi avanzati. I suoi interessi riguardano: la caratterizzazione di matrici polimeriche per compositi; l’analisi termica, modellazione di processi di produzione dei materiali compositi; i processi di degradazione dei materiali polimerici, materiali ablativi per capsule spaziali; riciclo di materie plastiche, produzione di parti in composito per applicazioni in ultravuoto, studio del comportamento al crash di strutture sandwich a matrice polimerica, nanocompositi a matrice termoplastica e termoindurente, processi di lavorazione dei materiali compositi. Gran parte della ricerca da lui svolta è stata finanziata tramite progetti Europei tra i quali vale la pena di citare: il progetto HYCOPROD “Design of Advanced Composite Production Processes for the Systematic Manufacture of Very Large Monocoque Hybrid Composite Sandwich Structures for the Transportation Sectors” premiato con il “JEC Innovation Award” a Parigi nel 2003; il Progetto “Ecoefficient Technologies and Products Based on Natural Fiber Composites (ECOFINA) ”; il Progetto: “New Concept of High Pressure Hydraulic Filter for Aeronautics Preserving Environment. (AEROFIL)”; il progetto “A Fundamental Study of the Processing - Structure - Properties of Nanocomposites for Industrial Applications (PRONACOM)”. Nell’ambito rete di eccellenza Europea NANOFUN, il Prof. Torre è stato direttore del “Virtual Modelling Laboratoratory” che consorziava un numero di partner Europei al fine di mettere in comune le capacità e le esperienze nel campo della modellazione matematica e della simulazione dei processi riguardanti le nanotecnologie. Per quanto riguarda la ricerca istituzionale, il Prof. Torre ha partecipato a diversi progetti PRIN e CNR quale membro di Unità operativa. Inoltre e nel 2002 è stato responsabile scientifico di Unità operativa. La sua attività scientifica è testimoniata da circa di 110 pubblicazioni su riviste internazionali, su libri o atti di convegni internazionali e nazionali. Il Prof. Torre è stato membro del comitato scientifico e organizzativo di numerose conferenze internazionali e nazionali Tra le quali La XXII conferenza internazionale della Polymer Processing Society (Sorrento 1996), la SAMPE Europe International Conference (Parigi dal 1998 a Oggi), SAMPE EUROPE Technical Conference (Tolosa 2006, Madrid 2007, Augsburg 2008). Il 5 convegno Nazionale AIMAT (Spoleto 2000), VI Convegno Nazionale INSTM, (Perugia 2005), IV International Conference NANOFUN-poly (Roma 2008), COMAT 2008 (Rio de Janeiro) Per quanto riguarda l’attività didattica, il Prof. Torre dall’anno Accademico 1996-1997 ha svolto attività seminariale ed esercitazioni nell’ambito dei corsi di Scienza e Tecnologia dei Materiali, Scienza e Tecnologia dei Materiali Compositi, Tecnologia dei Polimeri del corso di Laurea della Facoltà di Ingegneria dell’Università di Perugia. Dal 1999 a oggi ha avuto in affidamento presso la Facoltà di Ingegneria il corso di Scienza e Tecnologia dei materiali Compositi, il corso di Tecnologie di Polimeri 4, inoltre ha in affidamento il corso di Scienza e Tecnologia dei Materiali presso il Corso Interfacoltà di Tecnologie del Restauro. Inoltre fa parte del collegio dei docenti del Dottorato in “Nuovi Materiali Strutturali e Funzionali per Applicazioni Spaziali” e del Dottorato in “Nanotecnologie dei Materiali”.
