Scientific Adviser Michele Bandini (Ph. D.)

Scientific Adviser Michele Bandini (Ph. D.)

For its training program, MFN divides a team of over 20 members into Official Trainers and Scientific Advisors. All of them teach a particular or several topics, however, the title Scientific Adviser is reserved for persons who have a well documented scientific background.  Most of them still have good connections to various Universities or are presently teaching at such institutes.

So far MFN had with Heribert Gray (Ph.D.), Eckehard Müller (Ph.D.) and Andrzej Wojtas (Ph.D.) a total of three Scientific Advisors. They have been with MFN for many years. MFN is very glad that Michele Bandini, who is well known throughout the industry, accepted the request to join us as a Scientific Adviser! Being a native Italian speaker, Michele will, besides others, also improve MFN's training means within the Italian market.
