Biography

Manlio Tassieri is a Lecturer within the Division of Biomedical Engineering at The University of Glasgow.
He is a Council Member of The British Society of Rheology, an Ordinary Member of The IoP-Polymer Physics Group, an Associate Member of the Institute of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, an EPSRC Peer Review Full College Member, a member of the Institute of Physics, an Editorial Board Member of Scientific Reports and a Delegate of the Individual Members on the European Society of Rheology Committee.

He graduated as a Chemical Engineer from the Department of Chemical Engineering, The University of Naples “Federico II” in 2000. During his final‐year project, he developed two novel rheo-optical methods for determining interfacial tension in disperse polymer blends. After graduating, he continued collaborating with researchers in Naples on a pioneering study of the shear induced clustering of gelling droplets in aqueous biphasic mixtures. This topic is of particular interest, for instance, to the food processing industry.

Later, in 2000, he moved to a consultant designer post at TECNOSISTEM S.p.A. Whilst there, his main undertaking was to design ventilation and fireproof systems for underground railways. This involved contributions to the design of the Turin underground railway project associated with the 2006 Winter Olympic Games.

In 2003 he decided to follow his aspiration to become an academic researcher. To do this, he embarked on research in the field of Microrheology of semi-flexible bio-polymers at the School of Physics & Astronomy of The University of Leeds, from where he graduated with a PhD in 2007.

Following his PhD, he held a postdoctoral research position in the Polymer Science and Technology IRC at The University of Leeds, collaborating in the Microscale Polymer Processing project.

In 2008 he moved to the Division of Biomedical Engineering at The University of Glasgow to take up a Research Assistant post studying the use of optical tweezers to measure properties of biological cells.

In 2010 he was awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellowship to combine Microrheological techniques with Microfluidic devices. The aim of this Fellowship was to deliver new sensitive tools that measure conformational changes of biological systems at nano‐ and micro‐length scales, occurring as a consequence of pathological phenomena and/or variations in the surrounding solutions (e.g. due to drug stimulation or osmotic changes).

In April 2013, he has been elected council member of The British Society of Rheology.

In July 2016, he has been elected Associate Member of the Institute of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics.

In September 2016, he has been invited to become a member of the EPSRC Peer Review Associate College.

In January 2017, he has become a member of the Institute of Physics.

In February 2017, he has been invited to become an Editorial Board Member for Scientific Reports, a journal published by Springer Nature.

In September 2017, he has been elected Ordinary Member of the Polymer Physics Group Committee at the Institute of Physics.

In August 2018, he has been promoted to EPSRC Peer Review Full College Member.

In October 2018, he has been elected as a “Delegate of the Individual Members” on the European Society of Rheology Committee.

He acts as academic advisor for both national and international funding councils:

He acts as an academic referee for international scientific journals, such as Science, Physical Review Letter, Lab on a Chip, Macromolecules, Scientific Reports, Langmuir, RSC Soft Matter, Journal of the Royal Society Interface, PLOS ONE, Biomedical Optics Express, RSC Advances, Optics Express, Journal of Rheology, Journal of Chemical Physics, Biomicrofluidics, Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, Physical Review E, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, Europhysics Letters, Applied Spectroscopy, Applied Optics, Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering, Journal of Polymer Engineering.
