Biography

Roberto Nisticò (RN) graduated in Industrial Chemistry at the University of Torino (magna cum laude) in 2011, where he also got his PhD in Chemical and Materials Sciences in 2015. From 2015 to 2017 RN is Post-Doc at the University of Torino. From 2017 to 2019 RN is Fixed-Time Researcher (RTD-a) at the Polytechnic Institute of Torino in Materials Science and Engineering (09/D1, ING-IND/22). From 2019 to 2020 RN is Researcher at the Bio-ON SpA Company (CNS Unit, Castel S. Pietro Terme, BO, Italy). From 2020 to 2021 RN is GMP QC Analyst at the PolyCrystalLine SpA Company (Medicina, BO, Italy). Since February 2022 to January 2025 RN is Fixed-Time Researcher (RTD-b) at the University of Milano-Bicocca in General and Inorganic Chemistry (03/CHEM, ex-03/B1; CHEM-03/A, ex-CHIM/03). Since February 2025 RN is Associate Professor at the University of Milano-Bicocca in General and Inorganic Chemistry (03/CHEM, ex-03/B1; CHEM-03/A, ex-CHIM/03).
