Curriculum vitae

Research fellow at the Università di Bologna, she conducts her research in the field of Inorganic Chemistry and Heterogeneous Catalysis. During her PhD, her research interests were primarily focused on the synthesis and optimisation of transition metal complexes and clusters, their crystallographic and spectroscopic characterisation, the investigation of their reactivity, and their application in both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. She is currently a member of the Catalysis Group at the “Toso Montanari” Department, where she collaborates on a project devoted to the synthesis and characterisation of novel heterogeneous catalysts for the production of e-kerosene.
