2. Professional Experience

Since 2008 he is Researcher at the ISTEC-CNR Faenza (Institute of Science and Technology for Ceramics, former IRTEC, Istituto di Ricerche Tecnologiche per la Ceramica) with a permanent position.
From 1996-2006 Research Fellow for ISTEC-CNR Faenza on behalf of different research projects sponsored by MURST, private companies or EU programmes, with an activity particulary focused on the synthesis, characterization and functionalization of ceramic powders and ferroelectric materials. Part of the activity was especially dealing with co-tutoring of several students during their M.Sc. or Ph.D. theses in Chemistry.
