National PhD candidate in Materials, Sustainable Processes and Systems for the Energy Transition at the Politecnico di Torino and the Università di Bologna since November 2022, she conducts her research in the fields of inorganic and organometallic chemistry, as well as photoactive polymeric materials. Her scientific interests focus in particular on the design and synthesis of luminescent Ir(III)-based metal complexes, the investigation of their photophysical properties, and their application in energy-related technologies (such as LSCs) and sustainable polymer synthesis technologies (photo-ATRP).
Education
Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Chemistry (L-27), 2020, University of Bologna.
Master's Degree in Industrial Chemistry (LM-71), 2022, University of Bologna.
