Alessandro Massi (PhD, ORCID ID: 0000-0001-8303-5441) obtained his Laurea in Industrial Chemistry at the University of Bologna (Italy) working on diazotransfer reactions. In 1999 he completed his doctoral studies on the synthesis of C-glycoconjugates and rare sugars under the supervision of Prof. A. Dondoni at the University of Ferrara. He then joined the group of Prof. S. V. Ley at the University of Cambridge (UK) working on the application and analysis of polymer-supported species in multi-step parallel synthesis (1999-2000). Then he move back to the University of Ferrara where he worked as Research Associate on different topics including multicomponent reactions, asymmetric organocatalysis and bioconjugation through click chemistry approaches. In 2014 he become Assistant Professor at the same University (Department of Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Agricultural Sciences) and Full Professor in 2019. His institutional teaching activity is performed for the BSc in Chemistry and MSc in Chemical Sciences. He is member of the PhD Academic Board in Chemical Sciences, also offering a dedicated teaching activity. Since 2017 he is the Coordinator of the BSc/Mc Courses in Chemistry and Chemical Sciences at the same University. He is member of the Green Chemistry Interdivision Board of Società Chimica Italiana and of the Scientific Board of Terra&Acqua Tech Laboratory of Emilia-Romagna Region. In the frame of this activity, Alessandro Massi is involved in the development of sustainable processes for the production of added-value molecules (fine chemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients) from agro-food wastes participating directly to industrial projects as R&D specialist. Since 2016 he has received industry and EU funding exceeding €1.5M as research leader. Elsevier awarded Alessandro Massi as author of one of the 10 most cited papers in 2004-2007 and in 2011-2012; he was also awarded by Thomson ISI ESI as Highly Cited Researcher in Chemistry in 2016. His present interest focusses on heterogeneous catalysis and biopolymer synthesis using sustainable methods based on organo- and bio-catalysis and flow chemistry. Alessandro Massi is author of ca. 120 papers in international scientific journals, including three patents and three book chapters (h-index: 33; total citations: 4513; Scopus database)
