Francesco Zaccaria, new MSCA-PF postdoc fellow at IQCC

Dr. Francesco Zaccaria has recently become a new member of the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC). Dr. Zaccaria did his PhD at the Federico II University of Naples on the “molecular olefin polymerization catalysts: applications of molecular design for properties modulation” under the supervision of Prof. Vincenzo Busico. After graduating in 2018, he moved to University of Perugia to work with Prof. Macchioni group and then return to Federico II University of Naples.

Since October 2025, he holds a MSCA-Postdoctoral Fellowship position in Prof. Miquel Costas’s and he is currently investigating recyclable polymers based on hybrid bicyclic lactones prepared by selective sp3 C-H activation.
