Edmondo M. Benetti
Full Professor of Industrial Chemistry
Dr. Edmondo M. Benetti graduated in chemistry at the University of Padova (Italy) in 2004 and he carried out his PhD at the University of Twente (The Netherlands), working in the Department of Materials Science and Technology of Polymers (2009). He joined the Department of Materials at ETH in 2009 as a Postdoc (ETH fellow) working in the groups of Prof. Nicholas D. Spencer and Prof. Marcus Textor. From 2014 to 2021, he has been a Senior Scientist in the Laboratory for Surface Science and Technology (Swiss National Science Foundation “Ambizione” fellow), coordinating the activities of the Polymer Surfaces group. In June 2021, he became Full Professor of Industrial Chemistry in the Department of Chemical Sciences of the University of Padova. Prof. Benetti leads the Laboratory for Macromolecular and Organic Chemistry (MOC) working on controlled polymerization methods, surface and biointerface sciences. His research is particularly focusing on the modulation of the interfacial physico-chemical properties of polymer assemblies, and on their dissection by advanced scanning probe methods and others surface analytics.
