Prof. Dr. Giancarlo Cravotto

Prof. Giancarlo Cravotto is a Full Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Turin (Department of Drug Science and Technology. His research activity is documented by over 580 scientific peer-reviewed papers, 22 patents, and several books as an editor and chapter author (H. Index 82, over 29,000 citations by Google Scholar). His main research interests are the development of green and sustainable synthetic and extraction procedures. These studies have paved the way to innovative protocols for chemical process intensification, exploiting non-conventional techniques such as high-intensity ultrasound, hydrodynamic cavitation, microwaves, flow chemistry, ball milling and reactive extruders. His research group developed a number of hybrid chemical reactors combining different energy sources. He collaborates with several industrial partners in the fields of fine chemicals, plant extraction, petrochemicals, pharmaceutics, textiles, food processing, and cosmetics. He received, among others, the Scientific Research Award 2018 "Organic Chemistry for the Environment, Energy and Nanosciences" and the Gold Medal “E. Paternò” 2017-2020 of the Italian Chemical Society.
