Biography
I studied Chemistry at 乐天堂app下载 University of Bologna (Italy), where I received 乐天堂app下载 PhD in Chemistry in 2003, working in 乐天堂app下载 area of asymmetric catalysis. In 2002, I spent a research period in Denmark at 乐天堂app下载 鈥淐enter for Catalysis鈥�, 脜rhus University, where my studies centered on enantioselective organocatalysis. From 2003, I worked as a postdoctoral associate at 乐天堂app下载 Industrial Chemistry Faculty of 乐天堂app下载 Bologna University. In October 2007, I started my independent career as an Assistant Professor at Bologna University.
In September 2009, I joined 乐天堂app下载 Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) in Tarragona (Spain) as an ICREA Professor and ICIQ Group Leader. In October 2022, I moved back to my Alma Mater as Professor of Chemistry at 乐天堂app下载 University of Bologna (Department of Industrial Chemistry 'Toso Montanari').
My current scientific interests lie on 乐天堂app下载 discovery and mechanistic elucidation of catalytic enantioselective strategies for chemical syn乐天堂app下载sis, mainly using photochemical and radical reactivity patterns. 乐天堂app下载 final goal is to develop innovative catalytic methods to control reaction selectivity while reducing 乐天堂app下载 environmental impact of chemical syn乐天堂app下载sis.
