Prof. Roberto Paolesse graduated cum laude in chemistry from the University of Rome “La Sapienza” in 1983. He started his academic career at the Department of Chemical Science and Technologies of the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” in 1986 as an assistant professor. He has carried out several National and European research projects, and he is also a coordinator of the FET-OPEN project INITIO within the Horizon2020 EU program. He is a full professor of chemistry at the Department of Chemical Science and Technologies of the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” and also co-director of the Sensors Group of the University of Rome Tor Vergata. Prof. Roberto Paolesse authored more than 400 articles on international journals, six patents and edited two books. His papers received 10473 citations with an H-index=54. His research interests are synthesis and reactivity of metal complexes of porphyrins and related macrocycles, thin film deposition of organic materials, development of porphyrin-based chemical sensors and artificial sensorial systems (E-nose and E-tongue) and study of the optoelectronic properties of porphyrin and related macrocycle thin films.
