Marco Montalti is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Bologna. The main research topics of his group are the design, production, and characterization of Vis-NIR photoactive and/or stimuli responsive supramolecular and nanostructured architectures and nanocomposites. Applications of these materials include photocatalysis for energy conversion and environmental remediation, bioimaging and theragnostic.
Arianna Menichetti graduated in Photochemistry and Molecular Materials and she is now a PhD student in the group of Prof. Marco Montalti. Her main research activity is the development of photoactive precursors for the nanofabrication of inorganic materials by 3D laser printing. Applications of these materials include tissue regeneration, energy conversion, photocatalysis and photo-electronics.
Moreno Guernelli graduated in Photochemistry and Molecular Materials and he is now a PhD student in the group of Prof. Marco Montalti. His research is mostly devoted to photoactive coatings for decontamination of real surfaces (e. g. cement, steel, glass and wood) from bacteria and viruses. He studied new photo-sensitizers to extend the photocatalytic activity of metal-oxide nanoparticles to the visible and near-infrared.
Alexandra Mavridi-Printezi graduated in Chemistry (Advanced Cosmetic Science) and she is now a PhD student in the group of Prof. Marco Montalti. Her main research activity is the development of new melanin based photoactive supramolecular and/or nanostructured platforms for applications to energy conversion, environmental remediation and ROS photogeneration. She is also involved in the development of new materials for nano-cosmetics.
