Elisa Moretti is an Associate Professor of General and Inorganic Chemistry at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy. She holds a Bachelor’s & Master’s degree in industrial chemistry (cum laude), a Master’s degree in restoration of frescoes, wall paintings and stone materials (full marks) and a PhD degree in Chemical Sciences. Then she moved to the University of Malaga (Spain) for a post-doctoral experience. She is leading a multidisciplinary team focused primarily on the development of 0-2D advanced materials with tunable size, morphology, porosity, and crystalline phases, for environmental and energy-related applications (e.g. photocatalysis and electrocatalysis for H2 production, drugs photodegradation for water remediation, water desalination). Elisa is co-author of more than 90 scientific papers with high IF, several patents, more than 150 communications and more than 30 keynote/invited talks at the most important international conferences in the field. Since 2023, Elisa is Chair-holder of a UNESCO Chair on Technologies and Materials for Green and Energy Applications (AID4GEA). She has been visiting scholar/professor at several universities/research centers (China, Sweden, Spain). She has a strong and consolidated expertise in leading industrial research project with small, medium, and large industrial partners, having several industrial projects funded in the last years. She is the founder and scientific supervisor of the Spinoff ChEERS - Circular Economy for Energy Recycling Solutions, working on a sustainable upcycling and valorization of industrial and agri-food wastes to facilitate the lab-to-fab transition of innovative processing and ceramic materials. For the innovative concepts pursued since its creation, ChEERS was awarded in 2021 the National Innovation Business Award ANGI (category “Energy & Environment”).
