Fabio earned a M.Sc. in Products, Materials and Processes for Industrial Chemistry in the group of Prof. Bartoli under the supervision of Prof. Paolo Melchiorre. In 2008, he started his doctoral studies in the same group under the supervision of Prof. Giuseppe Bartoli and Prof. Paolo Melchiorre focusing on Asymmetric Organocatalysis. In 2011, he earned his PhD in Chemical Sciences with an organic chemistry thesis entitled “Asymmetric Aminocatalisys: a modern strategy for molecules, challenges and life”. In 2011, Fabio started his first postdoc in Prof. Dr Benjamin List group at Max Planck Institut für Kohlenforschung, where he worked on Brønsted and Lewis acid based organocatalysis and on the synthesis of new metal-free motifs for achieving ppm catalyst loading transformations. After a research stay as a Cariplo Fellow at Pavia University in the group of Prof. Zanoni, he joined the group of Prof. Lutz Ackermann at Göttingen University focusing mainly on asymmetric C-H activation using catalytic amounts of 3d transition metal based catalysts. While working on this research field, he developed a new family of chiral Brønsted Acids able to enantioselectively induce the protodemetalation of Cobaltate intermediates on high oxidation state. In July 2020, he was appointed as fixed-term researcher (RTDa) at the Università degli Studi dell’Aquila, working on organocatalytic eco-friendly transformations and C-H activation.
