Students

Dalila received her bachelor from the University of Bari and then moved to Bologna for her master studies and graduated cum laude in Photochemistry and Molecular Materials in 2022. During her master thesis internship, under the supervision of Prof. Serena Silvi, she was involved in the synthesis of c[2] daisy chains and in their inclusion into polyurethane fibers by electrospinning.

Since November 2022 she joined the CLAN team as a PhD student of the doctoral degree in "photoinduced processes and technologies". Her research is focused on the photophysical, photochemical and electrochemical characterization of supramolecular pseudorotaxane complexes formed between photoactive axles and different types of macrocyclic guests. She is also interested in the spectroscopic characterization of photochromic compounds encapsulated within bilayer membranes.

Alessandro studied Industrial Chemistry at the University of Bologna and graduated cum laude in 2022. His thesis project dealt with the synthesis and characterization of mechanically planar chiral [2]rotaxanes and was carried out in the CLAN laboratories under the supervision of Dr. Stefano Corrà.

Since November 2022 he joined the CLAN team as a PhD student of the doctoral degree in "photoinduced processes and technologies". His research is focused on the synthesis of photochromic compounds and on the characterization of their photoinduced processes.
