BENAGLIA MAURIZIO

Maurizio Benaglia was born in Bergamo in 1966. After he completed his doctoral studies in 1994 on the stereoselective synthesis of beta-lactams, he joined the group of prof. Jay. S. Siegel, at the University of California, San Diego where he worked for two years on supramolecular structures. In 1997 he moved back to Milan, where in 2000 he became assistant professor at Department of Organic and Industrial Chemistry, University of Milan; in 2006 he was promoted to associate professor and in 2015 he became full professor of organic Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry, Univerrsity of Milano.
In 2001 he won the “Giacomo Ciamician” Medal of the Italian Chemical Society. He has been awarded by American chemical society as author on one of 20 most cited papers in Organic Letters in 2006-2009 years, by Elsevier as author of one of 50 most cited papers in 2003-2006 years and for another paper in 2006-9 years. In 2014 he was awarded by the National Consortium –C.I.N.M.P.I.S. with the “Innovation in research” prize.
In 2019 he was awarded with the “PIERO PINO” MEDAL by the Organic Chemistry Division of the Italian Chemical Society.
He has been editor of the Wiley book Recoverable and recyclable catalysts (2009).
Director of International Summer School on Organic Synthesis “A. Corbella” (2014-2017)
In 2017 Cofounder of International School of Process Chemistry ISPROCHEM
Research activity: development of novel synthetic methods, stereoselective reactions in alternative reaction medium, design of new chiral and recyclable catalysts, flow chemistry processes (catalytic reactors) and microreactors, 3D-printing technologies, synthesis of chiral products of pharmaceutical interest and of fluorinated materials for imaging.
