Biography
Nicolás Sacco holds a PhD in Chemistry (2021) and a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry (2015) from the Universidad Nacional del Litoral (Argentina). His research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of catalytic materials for environmental and energy applications, including heterogeneous catalysis, advanced oxidation processes, electrochemical technologies, and environmental remediation. He has international postdoctoral experience in Spain and France, and has also served as Project Manager at a university spin-off, leading the scale-up and industrial validation of electrochemical coatings for corrosion protection. His recent work addresses the design of functional nanomaterials for green hydrogen production coupled with water remediation. Dr. Sacco is the author of over 20 peer-reviewed publications (15 as first author), several book chapters, and has received multiple awards, including the National Award for the Best Doctoral Thesis in Chemistry (2023) granted by the Argentine Chemical Association. He actively contributes to international collaborations, peer-review activities for leading journals, and science outreach initiatives.
