Cambridge Supervisor: Erwin Reisner
Berkeley Host: Omar Yaghi
Andrea received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Chemistry at the University of Padova, Italy. In 2021, he was a visiting student at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany, where he worked on the application of carbon nitride organic semiconductors for photocatalytic processes. In 2022 he joined the Doctoral Training Centre in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (NanoDTC) in Cambridge. After completing his MRes, in 2023 he started his PhD in the Reisner Lab. His current research interests include carbon-based materials for photocatalytic and photoelectrocalytic processes, and photoelectrochemical devices for CO2 and organic substrates conversion.
