Lorenzo Mino (LM) is Associate Professor of Physical Chemistry and member of the group of “Physical Chemistry for Surfaces and Interfaces” at University of Torino. He is currently supervisor of 2 postdocs, 1 PhD student and 4 MSc students. 

LM is expert in nanomaterials characterization combining laboratory and synchrotron based techniques. His research interests are particularly focused on the investigation of the structure activity relationships in nano structured (photo)catalysts and in the study at the molecular level of reactions at solid surfaces combining spectroscopic techniques and DFT calculations. He published > 80 papers on journals indexed by Scopus, which received more than 1900 citations (H-index 23), and 6 book chapters.

LM presented 25 oral contributions at conferences (9 invited talks). His research received several awards including the “Alfredo Di Braccio Prize” by Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, the “Young Scientist Award” by the Italian Synchrotron Radiation Society, and the “Graduate Student Award” by the European Materials Research Society.
