I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Naples Federico II, where I teach Chemistry and work in the field of Materials Chemistry and Engineering. I have a M.Sc. in Industrial Chemistry and a PhD in Industrial Product and Process Engineering (received in 2019). My research activity is focused on the design and development of inorganic, hybrid and composite functional materials. The synthesis routes are based on chemical methods (mainly sol-gel) and inspired to the principles of green and sustainable chemistry. The physicochemical and structural characterization of the materials includes spectroscopic and thermal analysis techniques. I am particularly interested in: - metal oxides and other semiconductors with catalytic and photocatalytic applications in the environmental, energy and biorefinery fields; - nanostructured additives for polymer-based composites and coatings with specific performances.
