Stefania Marzorati is a Researcher at the Department of Environmental Science and Policy of the University of Milan.
Her research projects are focused on the development of biochar-based materials for wastewater treatment through bioelectrochemical technologies and on the valorization of waste biomass from agri-food chains with the aim of extracting bioactive compounds with high added value and macromolecules of interest for the development of active materials (active food packaging, scaffolds for biomedical applications, drug delivery systems).
The techniques developed in the research lines point to the sustainability of the overall processes, for this reason “unconventional” and green technologies such as bioelectrochemical systems and the use of supercritical fluids are selected.
The products resulting from the developed processes and materials are analysed through physico chemical, analytical and spectroscopic techniques such as HPLC and UPLC-MS, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, electrochemical techniques.
