معرفی
Andrea Secchi is a Full Professor in the Department of Chemical, Life and Environmental Sustainability Sciences at the University of Parma. He holds a Master's in Chemistry (1992) and a PhD in Chemical Sciences (1995) from the University of Parma. His research focuses on supramolecular chemistry, molecular recognition, and nanoscience, particularly involving calixarene-based systems, molecular machines, and functional nanomaterials. He has supervised over 60 theses and 8 PhD students in chemistry and materials science. His work bridges organic synthesis, materials science, and bioapplications, with over 94 peer-reviewed articles and a citation count exceeding 2,800.
Education:
- PhD in Chemical Sciences, University of Parma (1995)
- Master's in Chemistry, University of Parma (1992)
Research interests include calixarene functionalization for molecular machines, hybrid organic-inorganic nanomaterials, and NIR dye-plasmonic material interactions. His nanomaterials research spans gold/silver nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, and self-assembled monolayers. Recent work explores applications in biosensing, drug delivery, and environmental analysis.
Teaching roles since 2005 include courses in Physical Methods in Organic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry of Materials, and Environmental Chemistry at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
Administrative roles include Chair of the Chemistry Course of Study Board, member of the Department Safety Committee, and international mobility committee. He collaborates with institutions in France, Germany, Belgium, and the UK on calixarene-based projects.
Publications demonstrate expertise in calixarene derivatives, rotaxane/catenane synthesis, and nanomaterial functionalization. Over 2860 citations highlight impact in supramolecular and materials chemistry fields.
