Sir Ruggero M. Santilli obtained his Ph. D. in theoretical physics at the University of Torino, Italy in 1965; he then emigrated to the U.S.A. in 1967 where he was on the faculty of the University of Miami, Boston University, MIT, and Harvard University under financial support from NASA, UFOSR and DOE. In 1991 he accepted the position of President and Professor at the Institute for Basic Research in Florida. He is the author of 345 papers published in refereed journals and twenty post Ph. D. monographs in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology; he is the Editor of a number of scientific journals in mathematics and physics and was awarded twelve U. S. patents. He is internationally known for developing new mathematics (known as Lie-admissible, Lie-isotopic and isodual mathematics) for the construction of hadronic mechanics, chemistry and biology, and for the verification of the 1935 Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen argument that "quantum mechanics is not a complete theory." These discoveries lead to the prediction of new technologies, incompatible with quantum mechanics but fully compatible with hadronic mechanics, which he developed as Chief Scientist at various U. S. publicly traded and private companies.

Born and raised in the UK, and educated at the universities of Cambridge, Sheffield and Birmingham he first trained as a physicist, then became a metallurgical engineer, but finally has spent most of his life in foundries where he thinks he has made more cylinder heads than he has had hot dinners. He developed the Cosworth Casting Process, then a novel process making Al alloy cylinder heads and blocks for the Formula One racing engines, using counter-gravity filling of molds by electromagnetic pumps. The process has been taken up by Ford, Nemak and General Motors for the production of automotive cylinder blocks the USA. This process still has the world record for production rates of sound V6 and V8 blocks. During his 15 years as Professor of Casting Technology in the University of Birmingham, UK, the nature of turbulence and the generation of casting defects was clarified for the first time. The new concepts included entrainment, the double nature of oxide films causing them to act as cracks (bifilms), and the development of casting techniques to avoid bifilm formation. He has worked for over ten years with his partner in the USA, John Grassi, to set up a new casting operation, Alotech, helping to develop the new and exciting Ablation Casting Process. Although currently demonstrated for Mg and Al alloy castings, exploratory work is underway to expand the process to steels. Honda have become a major licensee. He is the author of the foundry text books “CASTINGS” and “CASTINGS PRACTICE”. These 1991 and 2004 publications are much quoted but getting awfully out-of-date. His new “COMPLETE CASTING HANDBOOK” published in 2011 and revised in 2015 is not light bedtime reading, but is a bargain for the determined and fearless reader with an open mind. The “MINI CASTING HANDBOOK” 2018 is a basic text specifically written for the shop floor foundryman. His invited lecture to the American Foundry Society in 2012, “Stop Pouring; Start Casting”, recommended the industry to move away from all pouring of metal, re-designing their foundries to adopt new melting and counter-gravity techniques for the production of defect-free castings. His latest book “THE ORIGIN OF FRACTURE – THE MECHANISMS OF METALLURGICAL FAILURE” published in 2020 describes the possible elimination of failure mechanisms such as cracking, creep, fatigue, stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement in steels and high temperature alloys by eliminating turbulent pouring of the liquid metal. These low cost and simple developments promise a revolution in metallurgy and engineering. We shall be able to produce metals which will not fail; metals we can trust.
