Biography
Luigi Falciola was born on October 20th in 1973. After his preliminary studies in a Scientific Liceo, he graduated cum laude in Chemistry in 1998, by the University of Milan. After a stimulating collaboration with professor Cavallotti, by the Politecnico of Milano, on topics related to the noble metal electrodeposition, he obtained in 2002 the PhD in Chemical Sciences by the University of Milano, in the Laboratories of professor Torquato Mussini, studying the thermodynamic, transport and solvation properties of electrolytes in aqueous-organic mixed solvents, using electrochemical and spectroscopic (EXAFS) techniques. The scene was focused both on fundamental and applicative (in particular in the electroanalytical topic of the pH-metric and rH-metric to be. In 2003 he obtained the Doctorate Award of the Electrochemical Division of the Italian Chemical Society. From November 2002 to August 2006 he worked as Research Assistant by the same Laboratories of the University of Milano. From September 2006 to February 2015 he was Researcher in Analytical Chemistry by the University of Milano by the Department of Chemistry.
