Keynote biographies
Nancy Artoli Queen’s University Belfast, United Kingdom
Nancy Artioli is currently an assistant professor at the university of Brescia and Visiting Lecturer at Queen’s University Belfast. From 2015 to 2021, she was a full-time lecturer in chemical engineering at Queen’s University Belfast. She graduated in Chemical Engineering (MSc) at the Politecnico di Milano (Italy) in 2008 and in 2012 she received the PhD title from the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of the Politecnico di Milano. From 2010 to 2011, she was Visiting Scholar at the Laboratory for the Science and Application of Catalysis (LSAC), University of California at Berkeley (USA). In 2012 She worked as Post-doctoral fellow from at the Laboratory of Catalysis and Catalytic Processes (LCCP) at the Politecnico di Milano and then, from 2013 to 2015, at the Laboratory of Catalysis and Spectrochemistry (LCS) in Caen (France). She became Lecturer in Chemical Engineering in the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Queen’s University Belfast in 2015. Her research group, the CEEP - Catalysis for Energy and Environmental Protection- works on the development of innovative catalytic processes with the aim of implementing green and sustainable production technologies that helps provide a paradigm shift from fossil-based manufacturing to renewable materials. This includes research areas on CO2 capture and valorisation for the production of platform chemicals and bio-fuels and the design of catalytic systems for environmental protection to reduce emissions in the industry and transport sector.
Volker Deringer University of Oxford, United Kingdom
Volker Deringer is Associate Professor of Theoretical and Computational Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Oxford. He obtained his doctorate from RWTH Aachen University under guidance of Richard Dronskowski (2014) and then moved to the University of Cambridge, initially as a fellow of the Humboldt Foundation (2015-2017), then as a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow. In 2019, he joined the faculty at Oxford. He was awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Harrison-Meldola Memorial Prize in 2022. His research group explores the connections between structure, bonding, and properties in inorganic functional materials (http://deringer.chem.ox.ac.uk).
