Maurizio Prato

Maurizio Prato obtained his Laurea degree in chemistry in 1978 from the University of Padova, Italy, where he was appointed Assistant Professor in 1983. He moved to Trieste as an Associate Professor in 1992. He was therefore promoted to Full Professor in 2000. He spent a postdoctoral year in 1986-87 at Yale University, was Visiting Scientist at the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 1991-92, and Professeur Invité at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, France, in July 2002. His research interests focus on the functionalization chemistry of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes for applications in materials science and medicinal chemistry, and synthesis of biologically active substances. His scientific contributions have been recognized by National awards, which include: Federchimica Prize (1995, Association of Italian Industries) and the National Prize for Research (2002, Italian Chemical Society). He is a Member of the International Advisory Board of Chemical Communications and the Journal of Materials Chemistry, both of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
