Prof. Andrea Pucci is a full professor in industrial chemistry at the Department of Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry (DCCI) of the University of Pisa. Pucci received MSc (1999, cum laude) and PhD (2003) degrees in Chemistry from the University of Pisa and continued his postdoctoral research in the same University. He was visiting scientist at ETH Zurich, the University of Manchester, the Polish Academy of Science in Lodz and at the University of Groningen. In 2011, he was appointed assistant professor (ricercatore) and then associate professor in 2015 at DCCI. In 2017, Pucci received the National Academic Qualification as Full Professor in Industrial Chemistry. His scientific interests are expressed in the field of polymer science with particular attention to the preparation, modification and characterization of mono-or multiphase polymer (nano)systems with functional properties for applications such as chromogenic materials responsive to external stimuli of various kinds or for applications in the energy field (solar and fuel-cells). The scientific activity also takes advantage of collaborations with important international research centers such as the University of Groningen (The Netherlands), the MIT of Boston (USA), the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and the Ecole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure de Chimie (France), which have contributed to developing an innovative vision of research and for bringing the results to industrial fruition. Since 2012, he has mentored over 70 MSc and BSc thesis students, 6 PhD students and 6 postdocs. He presented the results of his research in over 100 research lectures at conferences and invited seminars worldwide, i.e. MRS, E-MRS, Faraday Discussion and ICMAT, among others.<\/p>\n
