VERTOVA ALBERTO

Alberto Vertova obtained his “cum laude” graduation in Industrial Chemistry at the University of Milan in 1989. In 1990 he obtained a PhD scholarship in Industrial Chemistry at the University of Milano and in 1994 received his PhD in Industrial Chemistry defending a Thesis on “Hydrogen and Hydrogen Isotope Evolution reactions on Platinum and Palladium electrodes”. In 2000 he was a visiting scholar at the University of Tokyo. He joined the Group of Prof. Y. Umezawa, Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry - Department of Chemistry and collaborated with Prof. Dimitri Khoshtariya (Tbilisi State University – Georgia). In 2007 AV received a grant from Regione Lombardia, INGENIO project, to explore the possibility of industrial application of these investigations. Moreover, AV was invited to participate at COST Group (Green Organic Electrochemistry) a scientific project of the European Community (project D29 – W0006-03, 2003-2007) that allowed a strong scientific collaboration with the research group of prof. Jean-Yves Nedelec (CNRS – Thais – France).
AV has focused his interest on different fields of applied electrochemistry: electrocatalysis, photoelectrochemistry, electrochemical environmental treatments, new nanostructured materials for energetic and environmental applications, biosensors and for his research in the field of batteries.

AV obtained a grant from MIUR (PRIN 2008: 2008PF9TWZ) and one from the Cariplo Foundation (2010/0506), and participated in several other major international research projects.

AV is co-author of seven patents and collaborates with leading Italian companies.

AV is an Associate Professor at the Dipartimento di Chimica at the Università degli Studi di Milano.

AV obtained his National Scientific Qualification for Full Professor in 2018.
