Angelo M Taglietti

Since October 2014 AT is Associate Professor in the Chemistry Department of University of Pavia, sector CHIM/03.

He has been tutor of about 25 thesis degree and of two PhD students. He is a referee for several international journals. In December 2013 he obtained the scientific abilitation as “Professore Ordinario” .

Here are briefly listed some of his research interests.

Past:
(i) design, synthesis and characterization of systems able to work as fluorescent sensors for analytes of biological interest;
(ii) kinetic characterization of demetallation or translocation processes involving polyamminic complexes of transition metal ions;
(iii) design, synthesis and characterization of systems able to perform controlled translocation of transition metal cations inside poli-aza ligands;

Recent:
(iv) design, synthesis and characterization of devices containing transition metal ions able to perform supramolecular functions;
(v) functionalization of surfaces and polymeric samples with inorganic (Au, Ag, CuS) nano-objects and/or transition metal complexes with microbicidal action, in order to build antibacterial materials;
(vi) synthesis of anisotropic noble metal (Ag, Au) nano-objects, their surface functionalization for sensing and theranostic applications, study of their SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy) activity;
(vii) green synthesis of noble metal nanoparticles exploiting agricultural waste materials.

Katsunori Wakabayashi

K. Wakabayashi gained his Ph.D in 2000 from the University of Tsukuba in Japan. From 2000 to 2009 he was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Quantum Matter in Hiroshima University, Japan. From 2009 to 2015, he was an Independent Scientist at the World Premier Research Center Initiative for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (WPI-MANA), National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Tsukuba, Japan. From 2015, he is a full professor at the Department of Nanotechnology for Sustainable Energy, School of Science and Technology, Kwansei Gakuin University, Japan. Besides the above primary research position, he was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, ETH-Zurich, Switzerland, from 2003 to 2005, and also had a concurrent position as PRESTO researcher in Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). His main research interests are theoretical nanoscience and condensed matter theory, especially focusing on electronic transport and magnetism in nanoscale scale systems. Also, he is known for his contributions to the theoretical works for nano-graphene and graphene nanoribbons. His total citation accumulates about 11000.
