Matteo MaestriMatteo Maestri (Ph. D., PoliMI, 2008) is a Full Professor of Chemical Engineering and the head of a research group on multiscale analysis of chemical catalytic processes at the Laboratory of Catalysis and Catalytic Processes (Department of Energy) atthe Politecnico di Milano, Italy. He has been visiting scholar at the University of Delaware, USA (2006-2007), Alexander von Humboldt Fellow and at the Fritz-Haber-Institut in Berlin, Germany (2009-2010) and at the Department of Chemistry of TUM, Munich, Germany (2011). His main research interests are fundamental analysis of catalytic kinetics and multiscale modeling of catalytic processes, by applying and developing methods that span from atomistic (DFT) calculations to CFD, and from kinetic analysis to operando-spectroscopy. These methods are applied in the context of chemical and catalytic reaction engineering for energy with special reference to sustainable hydrogen production and CO2 activation. He has been the recipient of several awards at international conferences. He has been awarded by the European Research Council the ERC Starting Grant in 2015 and the ERC Proof-of-concept Grant in 2021. Among others, in 2017 he has been included in the list of Italy's best "under 40" researchers working both in Italy and abroad, by CARTADITALIA - Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Brussels and in 2021 the honorary title of "TUM Ambassador" by the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany.
