Gabriele Neretti

Gabriele Neretti was born in Castel San Pietro Terme, Italy, in 1980. He received the M.S. and Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy, in 2005 and 2009 respectively. Since December 2011, he is a Researcher with the Electrical Electronic and Information Engineering Department, University of Bologna. His research interests include principally technological applications of non-thermal plasmas. In the aerospace and aeronautical domains the main research activities are related to the study of the MHD interaction in weakly ionized plasma, and the EHD interaction generated by a dielectric barrier discharge for boundary layer flow control respectively. In the plasma-tissue-engineering field he is working on the surface treatment of bio-compatible scuffled, for cell adhesion improvement, by using DBD plasmas. This plasma typology is also used for the abatement of air pollutants, as VOCs, and the sterilization of parasites as oocytes. He is also involved in the realization of high voltage power supplies. Since 2011 he is lecturer of Electrical Engineering for the Course of Energy Engineering.
