DE LUCA Pierantonio
Master Degree in Chemistry at the University of Calabria (1991). He carried out the PhD in "Chemical Technologies and New Materials" (IX cycle-disciplinary sector ING-IND / 22), from 1993 to 1996, at the Applied Chemistry laboratory of the Department of Chemical Engineering of the University of Calabria, with attainment of the title, on 14/7/97, at the University of Naples "Federico II". Post-doctoral research fellow in Materials Science and Technology, with research activity on "Synthesis and characterization of new microporous materials", at the Department of Territorial Planning of the University of Calabria(1999-2001). He has carried out research abroad at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) research center. Grenoble. France (1996) and in the Laboratoire de R.M.N., Facultès Universitaires N.D. de la Paix. Namur. Belgium (2000). He has participated in several PON research projects. He is author of over 56 publications in international journals (surveyed on scopus), over 180 participations in national and international conferences and owner of 5 patents filed with the National Research Council.
