Prof. Martorano has a degree in Metalurgical Engineering from the University of São Paulo (1990), Brazil, Doctorate in Metallurgical Engineering from the University of São Paulo (1998), and a pos-doc trainning at The University of Iowa, U.S.A. (2002). At the moment he is an associate professor at the University of São Paulo and has experience in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering. His teaching and research work is focused on mathematical modeling of metalurgical and materials processing, especially solidification processes. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Photovoltaic energy rapidly grows in utilization and demand every year. It has become one of the most important energies of the European electric system and its generation increased by 44% in Brazil between 2015 and 2016 alone. There are estimates that 1.2 million new photovoltaic generators will be installed in Brazil by 2024. Approximately 90% of the photovoltaic energy is generated by …
Copper alloys are important in the manufacturing of metal products that require good corrosion resistance and/or high thermal and electrical conductivity. The properties of these alloys for service or mechanical processing are closely related to their as-cast grain structure. The grain refining of this grain structure can be achieved by inoculation of the melt before solidification, incre…
Sintering processes depend on several complex thermodynamic and kinetic phenomena that have been experimentally investigate for decades. Proposals of mathematical models that simultaneously consider the kinetic effects, such as diffusion in the bulk of phases and at grain boundaries, and the thermodynamic parameters, such as the energy per unit area of the grain boundaries and of the pore…
Mathematical modeling of the solute segregation has received special attention in the last decades. This segregation occurs due to the solute redistribution produced during the solidification process. The solute segregation can produce a compositional difference in the macroscopic scale, which is called macrosegregation. During the dendritic solidification, the macrosegregation is origina…
