Background

About Andrea Guerrini

MSc in Chemistry and PhD in Industrial Engineering (Material Science) with over 8 years of experience in micro and nano-structured systems for applications in biomedicine, catalysis, and circular economy. My academic journey began with internships focused on nano-platforms, where I explored their use as ROS scavengers (B.Sc.) and for cancer therapy (M.Sc.). During my PhD, I specialized in magnetic nano-materials, particularly for cancer diagnosis and therapy. This was followed by a first Post-Doc position at Scuola Normale Superiore where I contributed to a waste-recovery circular economy project funded by a mineral company. Then as a Post-Doc fellow at the NEST Laboratory (Scuola Normale Superiore) under the Artes 4.0 initiative, I was responsible for collaborative research with SMEs and technology transfer activities. Currently, as a fixed-term researcher at Scuola Normale Superiore, I am developing two innovative materials derived from the recovery of "marmettola" for applications in the construction industry, luxury design, and packaging. My goal is to make the marble processing sector greener through these materials, for which I have filed two patent applications.
