Marcello Condorelli

Marcello Condorelli is a Researcher with a fixed-term contract (RTD-a) at the Department of Chemical Sciences, University of Catania. He co-teaches courses in Physical Chemistry and is engaged in cutting-edge collaborations with Enel Green Power, Prof. Enza Fazio’s team at the University of Messina, and Prof. Stephan Barcikowski’s group at the University of Duisburg-Essen.

• Education
• Master’s Degree in Materials Chemistry
• PhD in Chemical Sciences (XXXII Cycle), University of Catania

Condorelli’s research focuses on plasmonics and catalysis, particularly the shape control of metal nanoparticles to enhance plasmonic and catalytic properties. His work spans nanotechnology, renewable energy (e.g., solar cells), and advanced materials synthesis via laser ablation. Applications include sensing, photocatalysis, and spectroscopy.

He collaborates on projects such as Innovative plasmonic nanomaterials for technologies in energy-efficient solar cells, integrating interdisciplinary approaches with mathematical, physical, and computer sciences. His research bridges fundamental studies on nanoparticle properties with applied technologies in energy and sensing.

Condorelli’s office hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with advance booking via email. His contact details include the Department of Chemical Sciences, Building 1, Floor 1, and the phone number 095 7385078.
