CANDAMANO Sebastiano
He is a  researcher for the SSD ING-IND/22 at the DIMEG of University of Calabria from December 2011. He graduated in Chemical Engineering at the University of Calabria. He received his PhD in Chemistry of Materials for Special Uses XVII Cycle at the University of Mediterranea of Reggio Calabria in 2005.
From 2007 to 2011 he worked Process Engineer at UOP at Honeywell company.
He was a member of research unit in PON Project (PON 01_01522 ECOFIBAR -  "Ecofriendly cementitious composites made of basalt fiber and with Recycling Aggregates),  FISR ("Development of planar solid oxide fuel cells with high-area supporting electrode) and Prin (PRIN 2004 "Materials for fuel cells). 
He is currently the scientific responsible for the POR CALABRIA FESR PFU-PREDECORE “Use of PFU (End-ofUse Tires) for the realization of PRemiscelates for the ECO-compatible and Energy-saving Construction.
