Mech'cheM - 2015
Speakers.
Lucia MAINI
Lucia Maini is Associate Professor of Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry “G. Ciamician” of the University of Bologna. Her research activity focuses on solid state characterization of organic and organometallic compounds via X-ray diffraction measurements and calorimetry. She studies solvent –free reactions to obtain new polymorphs, co-crystal of API or new luminescent complexes based on Cu(I).

Stuart L. JAMES
Prof. James received his BSc in 1989 and PhD in 1992 from the University of Bristol. He is now professor at the Queen's University of Belfast. His research interests are focused on solvent-free synthesis of MOF (metal-organic framework), porous liquids and self-assembly of molecules to form complex materials.

Ferdi SCHÜTH
Professor Dr. F. Schüth was a professor at Frankfurt University before he became director at the Max-Planck-Institute für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim. The work of the group is concentrated on the synthesis and characterization of inorganic materials with an application focus in heterogeneous catalysis. This research is supported by studies into the fundamental processes governing solids formation.

Sebastiano GARRONI
Sebastiano Garroni is Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy of the University of Sassari. His principal research interests are devoted to the mechanochemical synthesis of metastable alloys and control of solid-solid and gas-solid reactions by reactive ball milling, materials for solid state hydrogen storage and porous matrix for energy conversion.

Raphaël JANOT
Dr Janot joined in 2005 the LRCS (Laboratory of Reactivity and Chemistry of Solids, Amiens) as a CNRS researcher. His recent research activities were focused on electrode materials as well as hydrogen storage. Among hydrogen storage materials, he recently investigated the properties of phases such as metallic imides-amides and alkali silicides-silanides. His interest also lies in the preparation of porous carbon materials and the effects of nano-confinement on the properties of energy storage materials.
At Mech'cheM, he will talk about

Carsten BOLM
Carsten Bolm was born in Braunschweig in 1960. He studied chemistry at the TU
Braunschweig (Germany) and at the University of Wisconsin, Madison (USA). In 1987 he obtained his doctorate with Professor Reetz in Marburg (Germany). After postdoctoral training with Professor Sharpless at MIT, Cambridge (USA), Carsten Bolm worked in Basel
(Switzerland) with Professor Giese to obtain his habilitation. In 1993 he became Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Marburg (Germany), and since 1996 he has a chair of Organic Chemistry at the RWTH Aachen (Germany). In 2014 he was awarded a Distinguished Professorship.
At Mech'cheM, he will talk about
