Antonio Del Vecchio

Antonio Del Vecchio obtained the MSc degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology from the University of Ferrara (Italy). In October 2016, he joined the Service de Chimie Bioorthogonale et de Marquage (SCBM) at CEA-Saclay (French Atomic Energy Commission) under the supervision of Dr. Davide Audisio and Dr. Frédéric Taran as Marie Curie Fellow. Here, he received his Ph.D. working on new synthetic methodologies involving CO2, photocatalysis and carbon radio-labeling. From 2019 to 2021, he joined the Prof. Dr. Ackermann group at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen (Germany) as postdoctoral researcher, working on metalla-electrocatalyzed C–H activation/functionalization and electrooxidative couplings. From 2021 to April 2023 he joined the Dr. Mauduit group as postdoctoral researcher at the Organometallic Chemistry Department at University of Rennes. Here he focused on the synthesis and evaluation of new ruthenium-based catalysts to implement olefin metathesis processes and carbene chemistry.
Since May 2023 he is Junior Assistant Professor in Organic Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry at University of Pisa. His main research interests concern the developement of new and sustainable synthetic and catalytic reactions (transition-metal catalyzed and metal-free) for the formation of new C-C and C-het bonds, as well as late stage funtionalization of heterocycles.
