Dr. Raffaele Riccò
Dr. Raffaele Riccò has more than 15 years of experience in nanomaterials, porous materials, and composites. He did his PhD in chemistry at the University of Padova (Italy) on the production and functionalization of carbon nanostructures. He later worked in a nanotechnology cluster in Italy, dealing with silica nanoparticles for biomedical applications, before becoming a postdoctoral fellow at CSIR0, Australia, where he worked on Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and composites with magnetic nanoparticles. After a period as Marie Curie Fellow at the Graz University of Technology, focusing on MOF bio-composites, he moved to Thailand where he was an Assistant Professor at the Asian Institute of Technology, teaching and researching in the academic program on Bio-Nano Materials. He has authored and co-authored more than fifty papers in the field of nanomaterials and contributed to two patents related to MOFs.
