Nadia Malaspina (P. I.)

I study mantle peridotites and their hydration and carbonation, the role of fluid phases, and the oxidation state in subduction environments

Marcello Campione

I study the growth dynamics of minerals in natural and controlled environments, and the influence of these environments on their chemical and physical properties

Giancarlo Capitani

I study minerals and materials using electron microscopy, microanalysis, and diffraction techniques

Alessandro Cavallo

Valerio Cerantola

I am expert in the synthesis and experiments on carbonates under extreme conditions using Large Scale Facilities such as Synchrotron Light

Susanna Dorigoni

Daniela D'Alessio

I am expert in the synthesis of minerals under non-ambient conditions and their characterization using X-rays, including at Large-Scale Synchrotron sources

Pietro Maroni

Mattia Corti

I study the effects of serpentinite structure on microwave-assisted carbonation processes

Gianlorenzo Bussetti (Partner Coordinator)

I am expert in scanning microscopy and Raman spectroscopy at the solid-liquid interface

Andrea Lucotti

I am expert in infrared and Raman spectroscopy of both natural and synthetic organic and inorganic compounds

Rossella Yivlialin
