Biography
I am Professor in Organic ÀË»¨Ö±²¥ at the University of Vienna since 2020. I studied as undergraduate student at the University of Parma and obtained my PhD at the ETH Zürich with Prof. F. Diederich. After a postdoctoral stay at the University of Trieste with Prof. M. Prato, I joined the same University as a researcher first, and then as part-time Associate Professor.
In 2006 I joined the University of Namur as Professor and in 2016 moved to Cardiff University as Chair Professor until my current appointment. My research interests are focused on the development of organic synthetic strategies to create functional supramolecular architectures for applications in interdisciplinary projects with materials science and biology.
Current topics include the synthesis of heteroatom-doped nanographenes, exploration of novel non-covalent interactions, self-assembly and self-organisation in solution and on surfaces, manufacturing of supramolecular materials, artificial light harvesting antennas, applied photochemistry, flexible electronics, and supramolecular systems interfacing cellular functions.
