Senior System Manager - Sustainable Fuels
Education
- Università degli Studi di Milano
  2014 - 2016
  Doctor of Philosophy - PhD Chemistry
  Development of homogeneous and heterogeneous noble and non-noble metal catalysts for the reduction of nitro compounds.
- Università degli Studi di Milano
  2011 - 2013
  Master's degree Industrial Chemistry 110/110 cum laude
  Activities and Societies: Development of Pd and Ru-based homogeneous catalysts for the reductive cyclization of nitro compounds for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles. In particular, carbon monoxide surrogates were employed as safe alternatives to CO. Moreover, Fe, Ni and Co-based heterogeneous catalysts for hydrogenation reactions were studied both from the synthetic and mechanistic point of view.
