Curriculum
He received his degree in Chemistry from the University of Padova on July 17, 1995, with the valuation of 110/110 summa cum laude. He received his Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences from the same University on February 23, 1999. His Ph.D. thesis ("Studies On Hydrogen Bond Formation By NMR Measurements And Quantum Chemical Calculations") concerns the study of NMR relaxation times occurring at the acceptor nuclei after formation of hydrogen bonds by processing and comparing NMR data and quantum chemical predictions. He has worked as a Research Chemist (1998-2010) at the University of Padova, Department of Chemical Sciences, where he is now Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry.
His research activity is focused on the synthesis of organic materials, particularly on the organic functionalization of carbon nanotubes (both at the outside and at the inside) and on the synthesis of p-conjugated molecular structures. The goal of the projects is the development of materials with novel properties for possible applications in the fields of photonics, molecular electronics, optical limiting and bio-imaging.
