Matteo Alvaro (born December 3rd, 1982) is an Italian geologist expert 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 ranges across Material Science, 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 in 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 his PhD between the University of Pavia and the University of Padua[10][11].
Career and research
Matteo Alvaro, after obtaining his PhD, in 2010 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 with Ross John Angel started to develop some of the new ideas to exploit measurements of residual stresses on host inclusion systems[17]. To pursue the development of these ideas Matteo Alvaro received two grants, one from the Italian ministry for research and University (MUR, SIR grant MILE DEEp[18]) and one from the European Research Council (ERC Starting Grant, TRUE DEPTHS[19]) immediately afterward. The support of the MUR and ERC allowed Matteo Alvaro to establish the Experimental Mineralogy Lab 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 have renewed the old concept of geobarometry of host-inclusion systems opening up a variety of new exciting applications later referred to as elastic geothermobarometry or Raman barometry[23][24][25][26][27][28]. This method uses the contrast in elastic properties between the host mineral and the inclusion mineral to retrieve the pressures (strains and stresses) and temperatures at which the inclusion has been entrapped in the host at depth in the Earth[29]. It is particularly remarkable the new assessment of elastic geothermobarometry aimed at constraining the “true depth” of the equilibration of rocks, combining Mineralogy, Mineral Physics, and Metamorphic Petrology[30]
