Davide Vitelli
Academic Director
Leads curriculum design and the synthesis and characterisation modules. Two decades of work on nanostructured coatings, spanning academic research and industrial technology transfer.
Teaches Modules 01–03
Seven instructors across four countries. Every one of them holds an active research or industrial post — this is not a faculty of full-time course producers.
Core faculty design the modules, record the lectures and set the assessments. They also answer the questions in office hours.

Teaches Modules 01–03
Professor of Fabrication
Specialist in nanomaterials fabrication and applied materials research. Brings extensive hands-on laboratory practice and an uncompromising approach to experimental reproducibility.
Teaches Module 02
Professor of Applied Nanotechnology
Researcher focused on deploying nanomaterials in emerging industrial sectors. Teaches the industrialisation module, including TRL progression and unit-economics modelling.
Teaches Module 04
Visiting faculty contribute individual lessons and workshops in their area of active research.
Visiting Professor · Sweden
Materials scientist specialising in carbon nanotube synthesis and scalable graphene production. Formerly lead researcher at Chalmers University of Technology, with over 80 peer-reviewed publications.
Visiting Professor · Egypt / Germany
Nanomedicine researcher with a dual appointment at a Max Planck institute and Cairo University. Work centres on targeted drug-delivery systems using functionalised nanoparticles.
Visiting Professor · Japan
Physicist and semiconductor specialist from the University of Tokyo. A leading authority on quantum dots and spintronic devices for next-generation optoelectronics.
Visiting Lecturer · France
Analytical chemist heading a shared characterisation facility in Grenoble. Contributes the artefact atlas and the data-interpretation workshop that accompanies Module 03.
No instructor teaches a technique they have not personally run in the last three years.
Lecture assertions are footnoted to primary literature. The reading lists are not decorative.
Lessons that fall behind the literature are re-recorded, not patched with an erratum slide.
We do not just teach nanomaterials. We teach how to be honest about what your data can and cannot support.
— ATTIMAR Academic BoardWe add one or two visiting lecturers per year. If you hold an active research post in nanomaterials and can teach clearly in English, we would like to hear from you.
