Prof. Dr. Gianvito Vilé graduated with honors in Chemical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano and received his PhD from ETH Zurich, with the ETH medal for his thesis. He is currently Associate Professor of Chemical Processes at Politecnico di Milano. His research focuses on understanding the structure and reactivity of single-atom catalysts, and designing continuous catalytic processes for fine chemistry.
He has received several awards for his research, including the ETH Medal, the Dimistris N. Chorafas Award from the Weizmann Institute of Sciences, the Felder Award from the pharmaceutical company Bracco, and the ERC Starting Grant from the European Research Council. He is the coordinator or partner of several European (SAC_2.0, GreenDigiPharma, SSEFR, SACforCO2, and SusPharma), Italian (PRIN, PRIN PNRR), Cariplo (Circular Economy), and industrial projects. He is also expert evaluator or panel member for several national or international scientific foundations.
Gianvito has been elected Fellow of the Young Academy of Europe, a pan-European academy of 200 top young scientists and scholars from every discipline, supported by Academia Europaea. He is also editorial member or advisory board member of important scientific journals in the field of catalysis, such as Applied Catalysis B, ChemCatChem, ACS ES&T Engineering, CEP:PI, and Chemical Science.
