He obtained a Laurea (master’s degree) in Industrial Chemistry at University of Bologna in 1995. In 2000 he received his PhD in Chemistry from the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Prof. Jürgen P. Rabe). He was permanent research scientist at Istituto per la Sintesi Organica e la Fotoreattività of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche of Bologna from 2001 til 2008, and Visiting Professor at ISIS from 2003 til 2008.
He has published over 200 papers on applications of scanning probe microscopies beyond imaging, hierarchical self-assembly of hybrid architectures at surfaces, supramolecular electronics, and the fabrication of organic- and graphene-based nanodevices.
He is using the supramolecular chemistry approach in order to generate ordered 1D, 2D and 3D architectures at surfaces and interfaces, with the ultimate goal of controlling an improving the properties of electronic devices.
He exploited supramolecular scaffolds based on H-bonding and metal-ligand interactions to control the patterning of functional groups in two-dimensions. He has fabricated the first dynamer operating at the solid-liquid interface which were monitored on the sub-molecular scale by means of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy
At University of Strasbourg he showed that combining organic semiconductors with photochromic systems it is possible to fabricate optically switchable field-effect transistor as a first step towards multifunctional devices. He is exploiting supramolecular methods to generate graphene based materials with tunable properties. His current research is focused on the architecture vs function relationship in supramolecular and graphene based materials for applications in (opto)electronics and materials science.
He is Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC), fellow of the European Academy of Sciences (EURASC), member of the Academia Europaea (MAE), and junior member of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF).
