Biography

Prof. Dr. Giancarlo Cravotto is currently a Full Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Turin and Vice-Director of the Department of Drug Science and Technology. His research activity is documented by over 530 scientific peer-reviewed papers, 21 patents, and several books as an editor and chapter author. 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, and ball milling. 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 is member of the Conseil Scientifique de l’UMR ICSM CEA/CNRS/UM/ENSCM (Marcoule, France). He is a scientific board member of the Institute of Food Science Research (CIAL, CSIC-UAM, Spain) and a scientific board member of SifNut (Italian Society of Nutraceutical Formulation).
