Davide Peddis (DP) graduated magna cum laude in Physical Chemistry (2003) and obtained his PhD in Physical Chemistry (2007) at the University of Cagliari. Now DP is Associate Professor of Physical chemistry @ University of Genova and associate researcher at CNR-ISM. DP has extensive international experience: he was visiting professor at the Le Mans University Extended Guest Lecturer at the Uppsala University and visiting scholar at the University of Delaware. 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 in over 140 peer reviewed papers (h-index/Cit.: 32/3430 – Google Scholar, 31/2744- Scopus) and 5 book chapter in the period 2006-2020. He was co-editor of a book titled “New Trends of Nanoparticles Magnetism” (Springer, 2021). DP over 250 communications, including invited (58 personally given) to national / international conferences ad recognized scientific institution. DP has been co- supervisor 5 PhD student, 3 post-docs, 5 researchers in formation and he was also appointed for three international PhD committee. Davide Peddis has been granted over 1 milion of euro to date, coming for national and EU project.
