Dr. Maria Luisa Testa is a researcher at the CNR-Institute for the Study of Nanostructured Materials (ISMN). After her undergraduate studies in Palermo (Italy), she received a European PhD at Valencia University (Spain). Nowadays, her research interests span from heterogeneous catalysis, design and synthesis of hybrid organic–inorganic catalysts, to the development of supported metal catalysts. The main application fields are transformation of biomass components in biofuels and added-value products, wastewater purification, and gas pollutants abatement. Special attention goes to circular chemistry on use of sustainable and efficient processes and use of waste both for the synthesis of new materials and added value products. She is involved in several national and international projects on environmental catalysis and preparation of active materials. She has international research experience (India–CSIR; Spain-Corboba and Valencia Universities; France–IRCELYON; Ireland–Cork University; Bulgaria-Academy of Science). Part of her activity is devoted to Chemistry dissemination, teaching, tutoring and thesis supervision.
