Bio and research interests
Fabrizio Guzzetta (ORCID ID: orcid.org/0000-0003-2253-8947) graduated in Chemistry in 2005 in Palermo (Italy) working on the SAXS structural analysis of ionomers polymeric membranes for PEM fuel cells. He received his M.Sc. Degree in Chemistry (2013) from the University of Florida, under the supervision of Prof. Alexander Angerhofer, working on nickel borides-catalyzed hydrogen evolution in alkaline borohydride solution and on the synthesis and characterization of magnetic nanoparticles of DPPH (2,2' diphenylpycrylhydrazyl), as EPR magnetic standard. In 2014 he joined the group of Beatriz Julian as Ph.D. student, and he is expected to defend his Ph.D. thesis in July 2017. His interests concerns: electrochemistry (synthesis and characterization of electrochemical, magnetic, optical and photonic nanomaterials synthesis, characterization and applications. In particular he is interested in the use of synchrotron and neutron radiation in the study of in-operando devices. He has been trainer and co-trainer in chem. ed. for several bachelor-ending and master students who cope with the school-ending projects in different branches of chemistry. He has been served at the University of Florida as teaching assistant in the years 2006-2008, 2009-2013, teaching several areas of chemistry, both theory and laboratory.
