Molecular Dynamics and Complexity in Catalysis and Biocatalysis

Marco Piumetti received his European PhD in Materials Science and Technology at the Politecnico di Torino in 2010. He trained at several academic institutions, including the Laboratoire de réactivité de surface-Sorbonne Université and Fritz-Haber Institute. He is an appointed professor teaching the courses Industrial Biochemistry and Introduction to Sustainable Engineering offered at the Politecnico di Torino. His research activities are currently conducted with the Catalytic Reaction Engineering for Sustainable Engineering (CREST) group of the Department of Applied Science and Technology (DISAT) at the Politecnico di Torino and concern the fields of catalysis, surface science, nanomaterials, biocatalysis and biotech applications.
