Mario Caruso
Research Assistant
Mario Caruso was born in Italy, in 1986. He received his master's degree in Chemistry in 2010 at the University of Rome 'Tor Vergata'.
In February 2014 he obtained his PhD in Materials for Health, Energy and Enviroment at the University of Rome 'Tor Vergata' under the supervision of Prof. M. Venanzi, working on peptide-based systems for the investigation of electron transfer processes in bio-inspired devices, and the self-assembly of peptide-based systems for the synthesis of entirely new synthetic materials, and to understand the fundamental rules of protein aggregation. His research involved spectroscopy- and photo conductivity-based characterization of different biomolecules.
In 2012, he worked as visiting student at the Center of Nanophase Materials Science at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, USA.
In May 2014 he started research in the laboratories of Prof. C. Crestini, where he is now concerned with different classes of bio-molecules such as tannins and lignin, aiming at evaluating the use of this compounds in industrial processes and for the design and the synthesis of new bio-inspired products.
