Michela Signoretto

Mic

Education and Academic Roles: Prof. Signoretto leads interdisciplinary teams and collaborates with international institutions. She coordinates projects funded by EU, MIUR, and industries (e.g., CASALE SA). Her work spans catalytic processes for biomass valorization, CO₂ conversion, and green chemistry innovations.

Research Interests: Key areas include development of nanostructured catalysts for industrial processes, photocatalytic CO₂ reduction, and sustainable materials for cultural heritage conservation. She pioneered biochar-based catalysts and founded the startup Ve Nice for cosmeceutical applications.

Awards and Recognition: Recipient of the Levi Medal (Italian Chemical Society), and her startup won 2018 awards for innovation. Her H-index is 49 (Scopus 2025) with over 6,000 citations.

Grants and Projects: Led PRIN, LIFE, and PNRR initiatives totaling millions in funding. Notable projects include SCORE2 (CO₂ photoconversion), LIFE GOAST (sustainable tanneries), and FSE-funded Venetian bioedilizia materials.

Labs and Teams: Directs the CATMAT laboratory with 11 researchers and collaborators, advancing catalysis, materials, and green technologies.
