Prof. Giovanni Poli
🇫🇷 Sorbonne University
🎓 Resume
Giovanni Poli studied Chemistry at the University of Milan (1980). After a doctoral program spent between the University of Milan and the University of Geneva, he served as post doc at the University of Lausanne, then again at the University of Milan. In 1992 he became Associate Professor at the University of Florence, and in 2000 Full Professor at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (now Sorbonne Université), where he is still currently working.
He has published over 160 papers in peer-reviewed journals.
🔍 Research Interest
Giovanni Poli’s current scientific activity includes:
- organometallic catalysis;
- step- and atom-economical synthesis;
- asymmetric synthesis and related mechanistic studies;
- developing one-pot synthesis methods;
- synthesis of heterocyclic structures with potential biological interest;
- biomass valorization (furfural / HMF / lignin);
- the development of new methods for catalytic C–H activation / functionalization.
