Biography

HHello everyone, I'm FIlippo Campana and I'm a research associate at the University of Perugia and a member of the Italian Chemical Society (SCI). I'm carrying out my research activity within the Green S.O.C. group led by Prof. Luigi Vaccaro. I received his Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences from the same institution in 2022, with a thesis on the development and application of biomass- and waste-derived solvents in organic synthesis. During my doctoral studies, I was a visiting student at Novamont S.p.A., working on the synthesis of bio-derived monomers. In 2024, I joined Prof. Melinte’s research group at the Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium, as a visiting researcher, focusing on life cycle assessment (LCA) of chemical processes. My current research interests lie at the intersection of green chemistry, catalysis, and sustainability, with a particular focus on biomass valorisation, the development of sustainable catalytic approaches, solvent selection, and the environmental assessment of chemical processes through LCA and green metrics evaluation These interests are reflected in my research contributions, which include the development of sustainable solvent systems for UiO-66 MOF synthesis, the use of Polarclean/water as a safe and recoverable medium for Pd/C-catalyzed C2-arylation of indoles, and the environmental assessment of organic borazine synthesis through life cycle assessment. In 2023, my contribution to the field were also recognized as an Outstanding Reviewer for
