Ilenia Rossetti graduated summa cum laude in Industrial Chemistry at Università degli Studi di Milano in 1998, and she earned a Ph.D. in Industrial Chemistry awarded by the same university in 2001. She is currently a Full Professor of Chemical Plants at Università degli Studi di Milano. Her research interests are mainly focused on the exploitation of renewable sources and developing chemical plants from grassroots for the valorization of new resources. These photocatalytic processes are also under development for application in the energy and environmental fields.
Chiusoli medal
Società Chimica Italiana, Div. Chimica Industriale
The award was attributed in 2016 and is given to an Italian scientist (max. 45 years old), operating either in academia or idustry, bringing contribution of high scientific level in the field of catalysis. The motivation is the following: “For her multidisciplinary approach, aiming at the development of highly innovative processes, particularly in the field of hydrogen production and use”.
