Argazzi Roberto

Degree in Chemistry from the University of Ferrara (1990) and PhD in Chemical Sciences from the University of Ferrara (1995). Since 2001, he has been a CNR researcher (level III) in the Ferrara section of the Institute for Organic Synthesis and Photoreactivity. He is a contract professor of Physical Chemistry 1: Kinetics in the Chemistry degree program (Bachelor of Science) at the University of Ferrara. He is the author of over 100 publications and two patents.
