Matteo Pelucchi

Matteo Pelucchi received his MSc cum laude in Chemical Engineering in 2013 and his PhD cum laude in Industrial Chemistry and Chemical Engineering in 2017, both at Politecnico di Milano. After an experience at Argonne National Laboratory, USA and at National University of Ireland, Galway he is currently appointed as tenure-track Assistant Professor at Politecnico di Milano. His main research interests include the pyrolysis and combustion chemistry, chemical recycling of solid plastic wastes, carbon nanoparticles and carbon materials synthesis and pollutants formation chemistry. During his career, Matteo gained expertise in the both experimental and modelling approaches to high temperature chemistry of reactive flows, with specific focus on quantum chemistry calculations and detailed chemical kinetic models development. It is in this context that in 2013 Matteo was appointed as a visiting graduate researcher at the Chemical Science and Engineering division at Argonne National Laboratory, in the group of Dr. Stephen Klippenstein, where he became expert in theoretical kinetics. Matteo Pelucchi is currently involved in a number of EU funded research projects (H2020 and Horizon Europe) and industrial collaborations of the CRECK Modeling Lab at Politecnico di Milano. Matteo track record reports >50 scientific papers (including three book chapters) on international peer-reviewed journals and >40 contributions to international conferences and symposia (including two invited lectures). Matteo is lecturer of “Dynamics and Control of Chemical Processes” in the MSc program in Chemical Engineering and of “Chemical Engineering Project Laboratory” in the BSc program in Chemical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. He is also member of the Permanent Committee and Head of the Communication and Promotion Committee of the B.Sc. and M.Sc. study program in Chemical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano.

Matteo Maestri

Matteo Maestri (Ph. D., PoliMI, 2008) is a Full Professor of Chemical Engineering and the head of a research group on multiscale analysis of chemical catalytic processes at the Laboratory of Catalysis and Catalytic Processes (Department of Energy) at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy. He has been visiting scholar at the University of Delaware, USA (2006-2007), Alexander von Humboldt Fellow and at the Fritz-Haber-Institut in Berlin, Germany (2009-2010) and at the Department of Chemistry of TUM, Munich, Germany (2011). His main research interests are fundamental analysis of catalytic kinetics and multiscale modeling of catalytic processes, by applying and developing methods that span from atomistic (DFT) calculations to CFD, and from kinetic analysis to operando-spectroscopy. These methods are applied in the context of chemical and catalytic reaction engineering for energy with special reference to sustainable hydrogen production and CO2 activation. He has been the recipient of several awards at international conferences. He has been awarded by the European Research Council the ERC Starting Grant in 2015 and the ERC Proof-of-concept Grant in 2021. Among others, in 2017 he has been included in the list of Italy’s best “under 40” researchers working both in Italy and abroad, by CARTADITALIA - Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Brussels and in 2021 the honorary title of “TUM Ambassador” by the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany.
