Emma Angelini graduated in Chemistry at Torino University. She is now Full Professor of Applied Physical Chemistry in the Faculty of Engineering, Politechnic of Torino.

Her research areas are: Corrosion and protection of metallic materials: study of the corrosion resistance of superficially treated steels, duplex stainless steels and sintered steels, amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys proposed as innovative materials for electrocatalysis. Studies on biomaterials : on dental materials in environments simulating the oral cavity, for the evaluation of the corrosion resistance and ion release. Studies on archaeological artifacts: studies of degradation processes, trace elements and lead isotope ratio determination in order to obtain information on the origin of the artifacts.

She is member of ICC (International Corrosion Council, II Vice-director), EFC (Europ. Fed. Corrosion, W.P. “Surface Science: Corrosion Mechanisms”), AIM (Assoc. Ital. Metall.), SCI (Soc. Chim. Ital.), AIAr (Assoc. Ital. Archeom.).
