Claudia Barolo graduated in Industrial chemistry at the University of Torino in 1997. In 2001, she got the Ph.D. in Chemical sciences at the same University. In 2004 she obtained the title of Specialist in Chemical synthesis at the University of Milano. In 2002 she started a post –doc at the LPI, EPFL, Lausanne (CH) under the supervision of Prof. M. Grätzel. In 2004-2005 she worked as a post-doc at the University of Torino developing the activity “Biosensors and nanostructured surfaces –neurones interactions”. In October 2006 she was appointed as assistant Professor and at present she is Associate Professor (since 2014) in Industrial chemistry at the University of Turin. She is currently teaching in the courses of Organic materials, Industrial chemistry, Chemistry of resources and raw materials and Chemical and biochemical industrial processes.
Her research activity is mainly devoted to the synthesis and characterization of functional molecules (surfactants and chromogens) and hybrid materials (organo-inorganic) for fine chemicals, having non conventional technological applications (photonics, nanotechnology, biotechnology), with a special attention to the hybrid solar field. Since 2004 she is member of the NIS Interdepartmental Center of Excellence and in 2013 she became part of the Scientific Committee of the Centre.
