Marco Piumetti

Marco Piumetti is an Associate Professor at the Department of Applied Science and Technology (DISAT) of the Polytechnic University of Turin. His research focuses on Biocatalysis, Biosensors, Heterogeneous Catalysis, Photocatalysis, Nanostructured Materials, Natural Zeolites, and Sustainability, aligning with SDGs for climate action and good health.

• Teaching Catalysis and Biocatalysis and Sustainable Engineering courses at the PhD and Master's levels.
• Supervises PhD students in Chemical Engineering, including projects on CO2 methanation, biosensor development, and methane oxidation.

His recent publications (2022-2025) explore zeolite functionalization for wastewater treatment, mesostructured catalysts for pollutant oxidation, and biocatalytic systems for drug screening. Projects funded by PNRR missions include GUARDIAN (indoor air treatment) and BIOSENSOR (anticancer drug screening). He leads research teams in Chemical and Catalytic Processes for Energy and Environmental Protection and works with labs like the Biorefinery Processes Laboratory and Solar Fuels Laboratory.
