  • Curriculum Vitae
    Curriculum Vitae Cinzia Chiappe received Laurea (cum laude) and PhD degrees from the University of Pisa, Italy, in 1985 and 1989, respectively. After a two years period at the Regional Agency for Environmental Protection, she moved to the Department of Bioorganic Chemistry (University of Pisa) as a researcher. Since 2002 she is Full Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Pisa. Her primary research interests focus on the ionic liquids (ILs) chemistry and their application. Using the tools of physico- organic chemistry her research group is dedicated to obtain information on ILs and their physico-chemical and biological properties, often correlating experimental results with theoretical calculations. In this field, she has developed several projects that using these “designer solvents” as novel media and catalysts have allowed to develop new and more sustainable chemical processes affording a lot of new compounds and materials. Goal of her research work is indeed to develop new classes of optimized ILs to apply as solvents and/or catalysts in real-world problems: in other words to provide more effective chemical reactions or to develop novel platforms for more efficient extractions, separations and, in general, energy-saving processes. She has been several times principal investigator for research programs funded by Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), MIUR (Prin 2003), Fundations (CaRiPi “Sviluppo di Nuovi Liquidi Ionici da Utilizzare come Additivi nell’Industria delle Vernici” 2008-2009, CaRiPi “Nuovi sistemi polimerici con funzionalità elettriche ed ottiche ottenuti per micro e nano-dispersione adesiva e loro impiego come materiali e dispositivi per applicazioni intelligenti” 2011-2014), Regione Toscana (Innovazione ed ecocompatibilità nella tintura di tessuti in poliestere e bambù, 2008) and European Community (Iolisurf, 2007-2011; SWAN-Icare 2012-2016).

  • Richard N. Zare Stanford University Adventures in Chemical Analysis
    Richard N. Zare Stanford University Adventures in Chemical Analysis One of the great challenges in chemistry is to penetrate the world of the ultra small, to view nearly infinitesimal spaces, and to recognize their importance. Indeed, the analysis and manipulation of volumes so tiny that they are almost beyond comprehension is a critical element of the emerging field of chemical nanosciences and nanotechnology. These capabilities unlock secrets of nature. These secrets underlie how cells function, how reactions occur, how energy and information is stored and transported, and how such structures can be tailored to be useful devices for mankind from sensors to motors to computers. I want to take this opportunity to present my own adventures in exploring how to analyze complex mixtures for their chemical constituents. I hope to touch on laser induced fluorescence, chemical separations in capillaries and microchips, and the use of optical techniques as well as mass spectrometry. Bio Richard N. Zare is the Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor in Natural Science and Chair of the Department of Chemistry, Stanford University. He was born on November 19, 1939 in Cleveland, Ohio, and is a graduate of Harvard University, where he received his B.A. degree in chemistry and physics in 1961 and his Ph.D. in chemical physics in 1964. In 1965 he became an assistant professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but moved to the University of Colorado in 1966, remaining there until 1969 while holding joint appointments in the departments of chemistry, and physics and astrophysics. In 1969 he was appointed to a full professorship in the chemistry department at Columbia University, becoming the Higgins Professor of Natural Science in 1975.
