About the author
Born in 1975, Valerio Causin received in 2004 a PhD in Chemical Sciences at the University of Padova. From 2001 to 2003 he was First Lieutenant at the Chemistry, Explosives and Flammables section of the Forensic Branch of Carabinieri in Rome. Since 2015 he works as a researcher at the Department of Chemical Sciences at the University of Padova. His research interests are focused on the application of polymer characterization techniques to forensic sciences, in collaboration with Carabinieri in Rome, Messina, and Verona. He served as a forensic consultant for the Court, for the Prosecutor and for the Defense in over 100 civil and criminal cases. In 2009 he was awarded the AIM prize for young researchers in polymer science, and in 2011 he was elected a member of the Scientific Committee of POLYCHAR World Forum on Advanced Materials. An author of 75 papers in international journals, he was invited or keynote speaker at a number of international conferences and in universities and research centers worldwide.
