Gabriele Govanardi

Gabriele Govanardi is a researcher affiliated with the Institut Català d'Investigació Química (ICIQ). His work focuses on the development of novel chiral calixarene-based ligands and their application in gold(I)-catalyzed reactions, including cycloisomerization and hydroarylation processes. He has also contributed to methodologies for direct borylation of calix[4]arene scaffolds via Ir(I)-catalyzed reactions. His technical expertise includes advanced analytical techniques such as NMR spectroscopy and HPLC-MS for compound purification and enantiomeric ratio analysis.

Education: Ph.D. candidate/graduate from the University of Parma, Italy. His research emphasizes the synthesis of chiral catalysts and their applications in sustainable chemical processes.
