Position: Associate Professor at the University of Turin, Italy, and Senior researcher in the Photoelectrochemistry group at the Regional Centre of Advanced Technologies and Materials of CATRIN / Palacky University, Olomouc, Czech Republic
Specialization: nanomaterials for energy and environment with a special emphasis on photocatalysis, plasmon-enhanced chemical transformations, photoelectrochemistry, and electrocatalysis.
At the NANOCON´23 conference Assoc. Prof. Alberto Naldoni will present the lecture “Solar to chemical energy conversion with Advanced nanomaterials and photonic devices” in Session A - Mechanical properties of nanomaterials; Low-dimensional carbon nanostructures and their applications; Nanomaterials for electronic, magnetic and optical applications.
Personal Background and Education:
Alberto Naldoni obtained his MSc. in Photochemistry and Chemistry of Materials from the University of Bologna, Italy (2005 –2007) and Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences from the University of Milan, Italy in 2010. From 2010 to 2017 he worked, first as a postdoctoral fellow and then as a research scientist, at the Italian National Research Council in Milan (Italy). From 2014 to 2018, he was visiting faculty in the Nanophotonics group at the Birck Nanotechnology Center of Purdue University, U.S.A. In 2017 A. Naldoni joined the Regional Centre of Advanced Technologies and Materials of Palacky University (Olomouc, Czech Republic) as the co-leader of the “Photoelectrochemistry/Fuel cells” division. From the year 2022, he works as an Associate Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Turin, Italy.
Research interests:
Nanostructured inorganic and hybrid materials for photocatalysis, plasmonics, photoelectrochemistry, and electrocatalysis. Defects and doping in metal oxides, charge transfer at solid-solid and solid-liquid interfaces. Nanoscale mapping of catalytic activity in low-dimensional nanomaterials.
