Matteo Alvaro (born December 3rd, 1982) is an Italian geologist with expertise in mineralogy, mineral physics, and crystallography who is currently Professor of Mineralogy at the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences of the University of Pavia.[1] His work range across Materials Sciences, Mineral Physics and Petrology. His research is, among others, dedicated to the understanding of the properties of minerals and materials at non-ambient conditions, and the application of these property changes to understanding geological processes[2][3][4][5] on the Earth and other planetary bodies[6][7]. He is leading author or co-author of over 100 articles in international scientific journals[8].

Early life and education

Matteo Alvaro was born in Milan, Italy. He was educated at the University of Pavia where he obtained his Bachelor's degree in Earth Sciences and Natural Resources in 2004 and Master's degree Applied Earth Sciences in 2006. In 2009, he obtained his PhD degree in Earth Science from the University of Pavia with a thesis on the characterization of the high-temperature and high-pressure behavior of several pyroxenes[9]. He carried out his research during the PhD between the University of Pavia and the University of Padua[10][11].

Career and research

Matteo Alvaro after obtaining his PhD, in 2010 he moved to Virginia Tech to work as a postdoc in the group of Prof. Ross J Angel and Prof. Nancy L. Ross to carry out research on the structural and elastic behavior of crystalline material at high pressure conditions[12]. In 2012 he moved to Italy at the University of Chieti where, in the framework of the ExoMars 2018 mission, in collaboration with Prof. Lucia Marinangeli, he conducted studies focused on the investigation of volcanic systems on Mars adopting crystallographic methods to investigate pyroxenes in collaboration with the group of Prof. Domeneghetti and Prof. Tazzoli[13]. In 2013 Matteo Alvaro joined the research group of Prof. Fabrizio Nestola at the University of Padua in the framework of the European Research Council (ERC) funded grant “Indimedea”[14] to develop methods for the investigation of the depth of formation of diamonds deciphering the stresses preserved by inclusions trapped in diamonds[15][16]. During these years at the University of Padua, Matteo Alvaro together Ross John Angel started to develop some of the new ideas to exploit measurements of residual stresses on host inclusions systems[17]. To pursue the development of these ideas Matteo Alvaro received support from the Italian ministry for research and University (MUR, SIR grant MILE DEEp[18]) and from the European Research Council (ERC Starting Grant, TRUE DEPTHS[19]). In 2017 Matteo Alvaro establish the “Experimental Mineralogy Laboratory” located in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences of the University of Pavia dedicated to the memory of Prof. Fiorenzo Mazzi[20][21][22] Between 2015 and 2022 Matteo Alvaro together with Ross J angel and their collaborators revitalized the concept of geobarometry of host-inclusion systems opening up a variety of novel applications later referred to as elastic geothermobarometry or Raman barometry[23][24][25][26][27][28].

Award and Honors

2015: Awarded the SIR-MIUR grant, research fellowship awarded in Italy to investigators younger than 40 years old.[18]

2016: Awarded the “Ugo Panichi” prize from the Italian society of Mineralogy and Petrology for significant scientific contributions in the field of mineralogy.[29]

2017: Awarded the European Research Council (ERC) Starting grant, awarded to scientist showing high potential with PhD obtained not later than 12 years before the application.[30][31][32]

2018: Awarded the “Mario Nardelli” Prize for researchers who contributed significantly to the development of the Italian crystallography.[33]

2019: Nominated Rector’s delegate for international affairs in Europe[34][35][36]

2019 – 2026: Elected as council Member of the Società Italiana di Mineralogia e Petrologia (SIMP)[37]

2020: Nominated vice President of GLOBEC - “Center for Global Strategic Engagement”

2021: Awarded the EMU Research Excellence Medal by the European Mineralogical Union as an early career scientist who has made significant contributions to research in mineralogy and whose professional and societal activities contribute to strengthening scientific links in Europe[38]

2023: Nominated Fellow of the Mineralogical Society of America (MSA)
