Michela Pisani

Dr. Michela Pisani is a Researcher in the Department of Civil, Construction-Architectural and Environmental Engineering (SIMAU) at Università Politecnica delle Marche (UNIVPM) in Ancona, Italy. Her scientific sector is CHEM-06/A - Fondamenti chimici delle tecnologie. She maintains regular office hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00-13:00 at the Engineering Department.

Dr. Pisani's research focuses on the intersection of chemical engineering, materials science, and environmental technologies. Her work spans several key areas:

• Development of advanced materials for environmental applications, particularly for water treatment and contaminant removal
• Study of liquid crystalline systems and their applications in drug delivery
• Characterization of nanomaterials and their interactions with biological systems
• Development of sustainable engineering solutions for infrastructure and environmental challenges

Her recent research demonstrates a strong emphasis on addressing environmental challenges through innovative materials science approaches, particularly in the areas of pharmaceutical contaminant removal from water systems and the development of sustainable engineering solutions for marine infrastructure. She has developed expertise in advanced characterization techniques including X-ray diffraction, neutron scattering, and vibrational spectroscopy to study the structure-property relationships of complex soft matter systems.

Dr. Pisani has made significant contributions to the understanding of liquid crystalline systems, particularly bent-core liquid crystals and their film formation properties, as well as the development of novel drug delivery vectors based on lipidic and liquid crystalline nanosystems.

Her scientific work shows a consistent trajectory of increasing complexity and real-world application, moving from fundamental studies of molecular interactions to applied research with direct environmental and pharmaceutical relevance.
