Biography
In the year 2000 he became assistant professor at Department of Organic and Industrial Chemistry, University of Milan and in 2006 associate professor at the University of Milan. In 2001 he won the "Giacomo Ciamician"Â Medal of the Italian Chemical Society. He has been awarded by Elsevier as author of one 50 most cited papers in 2003-2006 years, author of one of the most 50 cited papers in 2006-9 years, and author of one of the 20 most cited papers in Organic Letters in 2006-2009 years (highlighted in Synform 2007). In 2014 he has won the award “Innovation in research”, given by National Consortium of Italian University C.I.N.M.P.I.S.
