ROVIGO – Man of science, Professor Paolo Francesco Bariani, engineer and university professor, who had brought applied research of the highest level to Rovigo, with the Te.Si Laboratory, passed away on Saturday afternoon, ten days after his 71st birthday, for a heart attack, while he was in his holiday home in Selva di Cadore. Bariani, who lived in Rovigo in via don Minzoni, was a heart patient and it was the medical guard who arrived on site from Alleghe to certify that the cause of death was due to natural causes, attributable to his previous pathologies.
UNIVERSITY TEACHER
Professor Bariani had become full professor at the University of Padua, where he had studied, in 1985 at the age of 36 and carried out his academic activity in the field of research and teaching in the field of manufacturing engineering. Former “visiting professor” at the University of Oxford, the Danish Technical University and the University of Rhode Island, he then held the position of director of the Department of Mechanical and Management Innovation at the University of Padua and, from 2004 to 2011, director of the PhD School of Industrial Engineering. The publications, collaborations and research projects are boundless.
LABORATORY TE.SI
But for Rovigo his role has been precious because it is in his city that he started the Te.Si, Technologies and Systems Laboratory, of the Padua industrial engineering department, at Cen.Ser in Rovigo. A research laboratory, applied to the innovation and improvement of high precision production processes, in particular on the front of polymeric materials and nanoplastics. But not only that, projects have involved nanotechnologies, nylon, biomedical, aluminum molding. All above all in the “micro” area, an aspect that made the Te.Si. laboratory great, which grew up under the wise guidance of Professor Bariani who thus created a real scientific jewel in Rovigo, with countless collaborations with large industrial groups world-class, from Ferrari and Volkswagen to Magneti Marelli, from Luxottica to Nikon, passing through Zeiss. For the Cur, Professor Bariani also directed the Master “Advanced engineering for polymer processing industry: product and process expert in the processing of polymeric materials”. Bariani, a member of the Accademia dei Concordi, was awarded the “San Francesco Prize” in 2009.
