Biografie (Vincenzo Balzani)

Vincenzo Balzani, born in 1936, received his Laurea in 1960. Since 1973 he is full professor of chemistry in Bologna, Italy. His research interests are molecular-level devices and machines, nanotechnology, supramolecular chemistry, photochemistry, -physics, -catalysis, electron transfer reactions, luminescent sensors, and solar energy conversion.

Biografie (Paola Ceroni)

Paola Ceroni is an associate professor at the University of Bologna. In 1998 she obtained her PhD degree in Chemical Sciences at the University of Bologna, after a period in the United States (Prof. Allen J. Bard's laboratory). Her PhD thesis was awarded by the Semerano prize from the Italian Chemical Society. Current research is focused on photochemistry and electrochemistry of molecular and supramolecular systems with particular emphasis towards photoactive dendrimers and nanomaterials. She is co-author of about 130 scientific papers. She is the principal investigator of an ERC Starting Grant for the development of hybrid materials for solar energy conversion.

Biografie (Alberto Juris)

Alberto Juris is former associate professor at the University of Bologna. His research activity concerned photochemistry and photophysics of mono- and polynuclear transition metal compounds, solar energy conversion processes, and luminescent sensors.
