Lorenzo Pandolfi is a Research Fellow at CNR-INO (National Research Council – National Institute of Optics), studying new spectroscopic techniques coupled to machine learning for application in precision agriculture.
In 2019 he obtained his master‘s degrees in Industrial Chemistry at the University of Bologna, while in 2023 he received the Ph.D. degree in Chemistry for his works in the framework of solid-state physical chemistry and material science. From the understanding of physical and chemical properties of organic semiconductors used in the manufacturing of organic electronics, to the polymorph screening of active pharmaceutical ingredients, through the investigation of the photoreactivity of molecular crystals and solid solutions, or the study of the influence of polymorphism on the performances of NFA organic solar cells, the Ph.D. project followed different approaches, including spectroscopic measurements (THz Raman microscopy, X-ray diffraction techniques, FT-IR, UV-Vis, NMR), and thermal analysis (TGA, DSC), with the interpretation of the experiments supported by deep data analysis and accurate DFT calculations.At the end of the Ph.D., Lorenzo Pandolfi published 11 articles on international journals, attended numerous international schools and congresses – where he presented mostly oral presentations – and won the “Gian Piero Spada” Award for the best doctoral thesis in physical chemistry at the University of Bologna.
