Biography

Tiziana Benincori was born in 1961 in Milano. She graduated in 1987 at the University of Milano where she completed her PhD working in the field of heterocyclic chemistry. In 1991 she took a position as researcher at the University of Insubria and in 2002 she became associate professor of Organic Chemistry at the same University.
 

Research interests

 Her main interests are related to heterocyclic chemistry.

1) Poly-heterocyclic semiconductors: steric and electric properties. Highly ordered chiral poly-heterocycles. Highly ordered poly-heterocycles functionalised with fullerenes, crown-ethers and calyxarenes.

2) Chiral diphosphine chelating ligands with heteroaromatic backbone for stereoselective homogeneous catalysis.
 

Teaching experience and appointments

 Teaching activity is currently underway at the University of Insubria in Como. Two courses are held: the basic course of Organic Chemistry (Chimica Organica, second year) and the Applied Organic Chemistry Course (Chimica Organica Applicata, thirth year).
