معرفی
Monica Passananti is an Associate Professor at the Department of Chemistry, University of Turin. Her research focuses on environmental chemistry, with a strong emphasis on plastic degradation mechanisms, electrochemical conversion of waste materials, and advanced analytical techniques for pollution monitoring. She leads projects like LIZARD, an autonomous sensing system for plastic litter detection. Her work integrates experimental and modeling approaches to understand nanoplastics' environmental impact, photochemical reactions at air-water interfaces, and sustainable hydrogen production from plastic wastes.
Key areas of research include:
- Electrochemical upcycling of polymers into hydrogen
- Photochemical processes in aquatic and atmospheric environments
- Development of analytical methods for nanoplastics detection
- Environmental fate modeling of pharmaceutical transformation products
Her recent studies explore multiphase chemical reactions involving micro/nanoplastics, degradation products' reactivity, and innovative mass spectrometry techniques for atmospheric particle analysis. She collaborates on interdisciplinary projects addressing pollution monitoring and sustainable energy solutions.
