Short academic CV and research topics:
Dr. Nicola Di Fidio is Junior Researcher (RTD-A) in Industrial Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry (DCCI) of the University of Pisa. Di Fidio received MSc degree in “Industrial and Environmental Biotechnologies” in 2015 from the University of Bari “Aldo Moro”. In 2016 he worked at the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA – Trisaia) in Basilicata. In 2017 Di Fidio was research fellow at the Department of Bioscience, Biotechnology and Biopharmaceutics of the University of Bari. In 2021 he received the PhD degree in “Chemistry and Material Sciences” from the University of Pisa (DCCI), where he performed postdoctoral research in the same year. Since 2022 Di Fidio is junior researcher. His research activity is focused on chemical and biological catalytic approaches for the sustainable valorization of agro-industrial wastes and residual biomasses in the perspective of the principles of Green Chemistry and Circular Economy. In particular, Di Fidio projects regards the design, the implementation and the optimization of innovative and tailored biorefinery processes based on the synergistic combination of Chemistry and Biotechnology. He holds the course of Industrial Biotechnologies within the Master’s Degree in “Chemistry” and in “Industrial Chemistry”.
