Curriculum vitae

Dr. Paolo Dolcet is currently holding an Assistant Professor position at the Department of Chemical Sciences, University of Padova. His main expertise focuses on inorganic nanomaterials for heterogeneous catalysis (synthesis, processing, characterization) and in situ and operando investigations by means of synchrotron radiation, to establish structure-activity correlations. He completed his Master and PhD studies in Chemistry at the University of Padova, focusing on the controlled synthesis of inorganic materials (oxides, sulfides, fluorides) especially (but not limited to) via miniemulsion-based methods as well as solvo/hydrothermal approaches. After a period as postdoc at the University of Padova, during which he also carried out projects with industrial partners, he moved to the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany). There he acquired and deepened his expertise in heterogeneous catalysis, in particular for clean air applications, and in advanced synchrotron-based characterization methods, joining more than 50 research projects carried out at synchrotrons, many of these as proposer/coordinator. He has authored more than 50 multidisciplinary scientific papers, book chapters, several contributions at national and international conferences, also on invite, reaching an h-index of 19, and a Scopus Field-Weighted Citation Impact of 1.08.
