Loris Giorgini is Full Professor at the Department of Industrial Chemistry at the University of Bologna, from 2019. He received his degree in 1995
and the Ph.D. degree in Industrial Chemistry from the University of
Bologna in 1999. His research interests include synthesis and
characterization of functional polymers with peculiar properties
for specific applications. In particular, synthesis of
multifunctional polymeric materials, photochemistry with special
emphasis to photochromism and photoinduced properties,
supramolecular chiral organization of polymeric and dendrimeric
compounds, chiroptical properties, liquid crystalline optically
active polymeric materials, block-copolymers and photochromic
chiral polymers for nanoscale advanced applications in several
fields, such as sensors, devices, optical storage systems,
photoconductive, phtorifractive and photovoltaic materials.
In date 18/09/2007, he has received the Young Award by AIM (Italian
Association of Science and Technologies of the Macromolecules) for
his researches in macromolecular field.
He is author of about 130 scientific papers published on
international journals and over 150 communications to national and
international meetings.
He is responsible of research group financed by the University of
Bologna (Young Strategic Project 2006) and he has contributed at
research groups financed by the Italian Minister of University and
Research (funds PRIN 2002, 2004, 2007 and FIRB 2003) and by the
University of Bologna (funds "ex-60%").
He is responsible of several industrial contracts in the field of
the polymeric materials.
He is responsible of research group of the University of Bologna
financed by the Regione Emilia Romagna DGR n. 1631/2009
(“Pro.Ma.Tec." Processi e Materiali Innovativi Tecnologicamente
avanzati per la Meccanica)
He is Aggregate Professor of “Recovery and recycling of polymeric
materials” and "Industrial Polymers" in the Faculty of Industrial
Chemistry at Bologna University since 2002.
