Giancarlo Cravotto's Biography



Giancarlo Cravotto, Professor

Giancarlo Cravotto became a researcher at the Department of Drug Science and Technology (University of Turin), after four years of experience in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries and one year at the Techniche Universität in Berlin. Former Director of the Department of Drug Science and Technology, he is currently Full Professor of Organic Chemistry and vice-Director. His research activity in the domain of green organic synthesis and processing, is documented by more than 500 scientific, peer-reviewed papers (H. Index 63, 16,800 citations by Scopus; H. Index 72, 21,500 citations by Google Scholar), 21 patents, 42 book chapters and 7 books as editor. The extraction, purification, synthesis and chemical modification of bioactive natural products has been the focus of his research activity. These studies have paved the way for new, non-conventional energy source driven synthetic procedures (microwaves, ultrasound, hydrodynamic cavitation, plasma, mechanochemistry, flow chemistry, etc.), while also prompting the reactors scaling up and the development of innovative hybrid units. He is Editor-in-Chief of Processes (MDPI, Basel); Associate Editor of Frontiers in Chemical Engineering and Editor or Editorial board member of several other journals. Recent awards: Scientific Research Award 2018 "Organic Chemistry for the Environment, Energy and Nanosciences" and the Gold Medal “E. Paternò” 2017-2020 by the Italian Chemical Society.
