About the author
Bruno Pignataro, born in Bologna in 1972, is Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Palermo. He received his degree in chemistry in 1995 from the University of Catania and his PhD in materials science five years later. He has helped establish a wide network of international collaborations and organized more than 10 meetings at national and international level, including coordinating the Young Chemists Group of the Italian Chemical Society and chairing the 1st and the 2nd European Young Chemist Award. He is a referee for several leading chemistry and materials journals, has more than 50 scientific publications and about 80 conference communications to his name, along with several invited lectures.Professor Pignataros research interests focus on the related fields of the physical chemistry of molecular surfaces and soft nanotechnologies. He is in the Editorial Board of Chemistry Central Journal, is editing by La Chimica e l'Industria a new heading on Critical Reviews and also acted as the editor of the recently published book, 'Tommorow's Chemistry Today: Concepts in Nanoscience, Organic Materials and Environmental Chemistry', which provides an overview of rising young scientists in the fields of organic materials, nanotechnology and environmental chemistry.
