Dr.
Franca Albertini
National Research Council (IT)
Plenary Lecture
Special Speaker
Internationally recognized researchers give concise talks on topics such as the crystallography and thermodynamics of martensitic transformations, shape memory and superelasticity, and data-driven materials design. Their talks set the scientific frame for the symposium and connect the communities that meet at ESOMAT 2027.
