Master Degree in Chemical Science cum laude (26/10/2007) at the “Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II”, Italy. Degree dissertation: “17
-Estradiol as Building Block in the Preparation of New Materials for Organo-electronics”; Supervisor: Dr. A. Pezzella.
Current position
Research Fellow at the Dipartimento di Ingegneria of the “Università degli Studi di Napoli Parthenope”, Italy (Progetto Lototubo – PII Made in Italy – Bando Industria 2015 – Progetto n° MI01_00025 – Decreto Concessione N° 00023MIO) on the topic: “Study of Anti-dirt Polymeric Materials and Hybrids” (Prof. R. Cioffi).
Awards
Winner of the first prize at the “Start Cup Campania 2013” competition with the project for the innovation: “Photostable Cholesteric Films for Reflection and/or Selective Light Transmission for Smart Glass Fabrication”.
Dr. Ricciotti has constantly carried out her scientific activity in very close contact with acknowledged personalities in the Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche of the “Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II” and in the Dipartimento di Ingegneria of the “Università degli Studi di Napoli Parthenope”, Italy. This training has produced a deep knowledge of laboratory techniques in the field of organic synthesis and material chemistry. The acquired competences span from the knowledge of the typical chemicophysical characterization techniques of the materials (spectroscopic, thermal and structural) to analysis more application oriented (electrical and mechanical). Her scientific personality is enriched by a polyhedral totality of interests, which involve the wide area of organic and inorganic chemistry, from investigation of fundamental reaction mechanisms to the development of new strategic molecules, polymers and advanced materials (composites and hybrids) for innovative application fields, e.g. electronics, optoelectronics and sustainable building. This versatility is the fruit of productive synergic co-operations that Dr. Ricciotti has developed over the years with well-established research groups operating in diverse areas of activity. These cooperations have strongly contributed to the strengthening of the personality of Dr. Ricciotti. Today, she combines a dynamic and creative personality with a marked curiosity towards a plenty of cultural ambits. Furthermore, Dr. Ricciotti has a significant management ability, and is particularly suitable for team-work and leadership, attitudes matured also via an intense activity of supervision of students.

DR. LUCIANA CIMINO
Luciana Cimino received her Chemistry degree in March 2009 from the University of Napoli Federico II. She won several post graduate scholarships in R&D Projects in 2010 and 2011 at University of Napoli Parthenope and in 2013 she had begun a contract project related. She is also working from 2010 as tutoring training activities in the first level Master Course of Specialization in Safety Engineering at the University of Napoli Parthenope.
Her research activities embrace several topics: characterization of materials, measurements of pore size, volume, distribution, density, and other porosity-related characteristics with mercury intrusion porosimetry, Safety and industrial Hygiene, Inorganic/Inhalable powders determination, sampling of asbestos, Characterization and qualitative/quantitative determination of Asbestos Materials, analysis of work-related risk in industrial sites and environmental/ biological monitoring , characterization of heavy metals.
Now her research activities concern Materials Characterization with Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy and Phase Contrast Microscopy, Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry, Characterization of Organic Solvents with GC-MS procedure, Characterization of Powders with Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS).

DR. ANTONIO JACOPO MOLINO
He received his PhD (ranked 1st at scholarship competition) in Energy Science and Engineering (start: 1st November 2015 - expected end: 1st November 2018).
His research activities faced several topics in the field of Energy Science and Engineering; mostly for: materials and technology of MFCS for wastewater treatment. He received a MS degree in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering from Federico II University on the: “Use of Reservoir sediments: case study of Guardialfiera Reservoir”. Since September 2014 he led a professional experience relating to use of SOLID WORKS applied on scale-up process of microbial fuel cells at Edilgen Company SPA.
Since October 2014, he has a scientific collaboration with Parthenope University for the Manufacture Geopolymers production and relative verifications of resistance and reliability of the product, using reservoir sediments as precursors. Since January 2015 he also worked, in association with materials research group, on innovative materials for the realization of Microbial Fuel cell electrodes. From 24 to 29 May 2015 he has contributed to a scientific Partecipation named "Geopolymers: the route to eliminate waste and emissions in ceramic and cement manufacturing." presented at ECIConference SchlossHerrnstein, Herrnstein, Austria. His research activity focused on different electrodes material and scale-up of microbial fuel cells (MFC) to evaluate their power density variations . In addition, he also focused on the study and design of cement mortar made with sludge and lake sediments.
