Andrea Lapi studied Chemistry at the University ‘La Sapienza’ of Rome, where he obtained his Laurea degree in 1994 with a thesis work on the “Oxidation of Aromatic and Alkyl-aromatic compounds by Metalloporphyrins", under the guidance of Prof. Enrico Baciocchi. He got the PhD in Chemical Sciences at the University of Rome “La Sapienza” in 1998. He got a research fellowship from the Italian National Research Council at the Centro di Studio sui Meccanismi di Reazione (CSMR) in Rome in 1998. He got research fellowships from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Rome La Sapienza in 1999, and from 2001 to 2007. In 2000 he got a research fellowship from the French Government spent in the “Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination (CNRS)” in Toulouse (France) in the group of Bernard Meunier. In March 2007 he became researcher at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. He began the teaching activity in 2008 and now he teaches the course of "Organic Chemistry I with laboratory” to Industrial Chemistry students. He is author of 61 publications on international journals. His research fields cover physical organic chemistry with a particular attention on oxidation processes involving radicals an cation radicals, biomimetic oxidation and organocatalysis in oxidative processes.
