Brief Biography
Dr Giuseppe Viola obtained his first degree in Materials Engineering from "Federico II" University of Naples. He then joined QMUL as a PhD/Teaching Assistant in the Department of Materials, where he earned his PhD and PGCAP certificate. After a period of postdoctoral research at QMUL, he moved to Politecnico di Torino for his Marie Curie Fellowship, followed by a role at UCL as a researcher in the Faculty of Medical Science and later as a teaching fellow at the Institute for Materials Discovery.
Currently, Dr Viola is a Lecturer in Materials Science Education at the Queen Mary Engineering School located at NPU in Xi'an, China. In parallel, he directs and coordinates the activities of the Queen Mary Centre for Undergraduate Research as part of his scholarship activities within the Centre for Research in Engineering and Materials Education (CREME). His main pedagogical research concerns the design of activities that promote co-creation and experiential and active learning in materials science and engineering education. Meanwhile, his technical research primarily focuses on understanding the relationship between structure and properties of active materials.
