We welcome Dr. Davide Rigo (PhD from the Università Ca’ Foscari di Venezia, Italy) as a new Marie Curie PF fellow in the group, funded by the HORIZON-MSCA program. Davide joins the team with a vast knowhow on carbon valorization, biomass upgrading and the synthesis and reactivity of isopropenyl esters (iPEs). His Marie Curie project (IMPULSE) centers on the valorization of the latter in new types of recyclable polymers.
