Davide PEDDIS DP graduated magna cum laude in Physical Chemistry (2003) and obtained his PhD in Physical Chemistry (2007) at the University of Cagliari. In the years 2007-2009 he worked as Research Fellow at University of Cagliari and at ISM – CNR. He was Senior Scientist at Vinca Institute, University of Belgrade between December 2014, and February 2017 where he was team leader for a group focused on synthesis and functionalization of magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical application. Now DP is Associate Professor of Physical chemistry @ University of Genova and associate researcher at ISM-CNR. Research activity of DP is developed in the framework of Solid State Physical-Chemistry and Condensed Matter Physics, studying the relationship between physical properties, crystalline structures and morphological features of magnetic nano–hetero-structures (nanoparticles, particles embedded in matrix, core shell structures, hollow nanoparticles, anisometric particles). Particular attention has been devoted to the investigation of fundamental properties of magnetic nanoparticles (static and dynamical properties) with particular interest in materials for applications in biomedicine (MRI, drug delivery, hyperthermia), catalysis, and energy field (permanent magnets, hydrogen production). DP research activity is presented over 150 peer reviewed papers (google scholar citations: ~2900; h-index:36) and 6 book chapter in the period 2006-2020. DP is co-author of over 300 scientific communications, including invited (58 personally given) and oral presentations (33 personally given), to national/ international conferences and prestigious scientific institutions. DP has been co-supervisor of 6 master students, 7 PhD student, 3 post-docs, 5 researchers in formation and he was also appointed for 3 international PhD committee (University of Uppsala, University of Basel) and many national PhD committees. Davide Peddis has been granted over 1,2 milion of euro to date, coming for national and international project.
