Antonello Di Crescenzo received his Laurea degree with honors in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology in 2007 and his Ph.D. (Doctor Europaeus) in Pharmaceutical Sciences in 2010 from the University “G. D’Annunzio” of Chieti under the supervision of Professor Paolo De Maria. As a visiting scientist he worked in the Laboratory for Regenerative Medicine & Pharmacobiology at the EPFL of Lausanne during 2008 (supervisor Professor Jeffrey A. Hubbell) and in the School of Chemistry and Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices at the Trinity College Dublin during 2010 (supervisor Dr. Silvia Giordani). Since 2011 he has a postdoctoral position in the Laboratory of Organic Chemistry at the University of Chieti under the supervision of Professor Antonella Fontana. His research interests focus mainly on the preparation and characterization of carbon-based nanohybrid materials for application in the energy and biomedical field.
