ABOUT ME
I received my Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences from the University of Perugia (Italy) in 1999.
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry, Biology and Biotechnology at the same Institution.
Following my graduation, I joined the Technische Universität Braunschweig (Germany) as visiting PhD student, and the Radboud University Nijmegen (The Netherlands) and the Northwestern University (IL, USA) as visiting scientist. Since 2013, I became part of the research group Green S.O.C. where I was catched by sustainable processes and resources.
In my role at University of Perugia, I develop and teach courses on:
-
Polymer Chemistry (MSc)
-
Chemical Processes for Biomass Valorization (BSc)
-
Biocompatible Materials (MSc)
-
Chemical Risk (MSc)
