Diletta Giuntini is Assistant Professor in the Mechanics of Materials section of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Her research focuses on advanced processing of ceramics and ceramic-based materials, with technologies spanning ultra-fast sintering techniques and additive manufacturing. She contributed to the continuum theory of sintering, which she applies to predictive process modeling and optimization, via both analytical and numerical methods.

Her current projects involve the development of nano-architected and multiscale materials with improved mechanical properties, typically combining a ceramic phase with an organic, metallic or additional ceramic one. She also focuses on layered ceramics for applications in the energy sector.

She is deeply interested in scale bridging in ceramics manufacturing. Tailoring the structure of a material at multiple scales simultaneously makes it possible to foster emergent collective properties and new functionalities, and to enhance structural stability. Double-tough ceramics, supercrystalline nanocomposites and tailored interfaces in multilayered materials are fascinating examples of Giuntini鈥檚 focus.

Some of her awards include the TMS Early Career Faculty Fellow Award, the Inamori Fellowship, the Humboldt Fellowship and the TMS-AIME Champion H. Mathewson Award. She currently serves in the Board of the Eindhoven Young Academy of Engineering.

Diletta Giuntini obtained her BSc and MSc cum laude in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Pisa, Italy. In 2016, she received her PhD in Engineering Sciences within the joint doctoral program between the University of California San Diego (UCSD) and San Diego State University (SDSU), USA. She then moved to the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) in Germany, for a postdoctoral position within Hamburg鈥檚 Collaborative Research Center on Tailor-made Multiscale Materials Systems (SFB 986). There, she was awarded a Humboldt Fellowship in 2018. In 2020, Giuntini took the position of Assistant Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology (黑料福利网).
