Dr Andrea Folli obtained a Laurea Degree in industrial chemistry from the University of Milan (Italy) and a PhD in chemistry from the University of Aberdeen (UK). His career has spanned across industry (Sasol, Italy/Germany), national laboratories (Danish Technological Institute, Denmark) and academia (University of Aberdeen, Cardiff University, UK). He joined Cardiff University in 2015. His research interests focus on the application of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) and advanced hyperfine spectroscopies to catalysis and photocatalysis (homogeneous and heterogeneous), novel materials for energy-related technologies, spin chemistry as well as the development of new methods and hardware for magnetic resonance.
