Research
| Main fields: | Heterogeneous catalysis applied to the synthesis of fine chemicals and to the transformation of renewable materials; Catalytic hydrogenation; Heterogeneous catalysts preparation |
| Current interests: |
Transformation and valorization of renewables (polysaccharides and lignocellulosic materials, vegetable oils) by means of solid catalysts. Heterogeneous catalysis for the set up of sustainable processes (selective hydrogenation, reduction under hydrogen transfer conditions, acid catalysed reactions promoted by innovative solid systems). Design of polyfunctional systems. |
