Dr. Tommaso Tabanelli

Tommaso Tabanelli is a researcher at the Industrial Chemistry Department “Toso Montanari” of the University of Bologna (Italy). Tommaso obtained his master's degree in Industrial Chemistry cum laude in 2012 and his Ph.D. in Chemistry in 2016 at the University of Bologna, working on the synthesis and use of organic carbonates for the production of fine chemicals. For his work, he was awarded with the “Best Ph.D Thesis Award” (2017 edition) in the field of Industrial Chemistry. Since 2016, he has worked on the development of innovative catalytic processes aimed to the valorization of biomass and biomass-derived compounds both in batch and in continuous-flow reactor systems. In 2021, he was awarded with the Robert Karl Grasselli memorial award for the results obtained in the field of heterogeneous catalysis applied in continuous-flow, gas-phase processes and with the Galileo Galilei young international award for the results obtained in the field of Sustainable Chemistry.
