Alberto Vertova obtained his “cum laude” graduation in Industrial Chemistry at the University of Milan in 1989. In 1990 he obtained a PhD scholarship in Industrial Chemistry at the University of Milano and in 1994 received his PhD in Industrial Chemistry. In 2000 he was a visiting scholar at the University of Tokyo. He joined the Group of Prof. Y. Umezawa, Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry - Department of Chemistry, working on new chemically modified sensors. He collaborated also with Prof. Dimitri Khoshtariya (Tbilisi State University – Georgia) for the development of investigation methodologies for the determination of the electron transfer rate as function of the modification of the electrode surface. In the last years AV has focused his interest on different fields of applied electrochemistry: electrocatalysis, photoelectrochemistry, electrochemical environmental treatments, new nanostructured materials for energetic and environmental applications, biosensors and for his research in the field of batteries. AV obtained two grants from MIUR (Prin 2008: 2008PF9TWZ) and from Cariplo Foundation (2010/0506). AV is an Associate Professor at the Dipartimento di Chimica at the Università degli Studi di Milano and a member of the Board of the Doctoral School in Chemistry. AV obtained his National Scientific Qualification for Full Professor in 2018
