Brief Biography
Born in 1973 in Mestre (Venice, IT), Paolo Scopece graduated in Industrial Chemistry in 2000 at the University Ca'Foscari of Venice. His graduation thesis investigated the synthesis of organo-tin compounds and the study of their toxic action on sub-mitochondria particles.
At the beginning of 2001 he obtained a 6 months research collaboration contract in the project "Monitoring methods, analysis and environmental reclaim for the industrial area of Porto Marghera (Venezia, IT)". His work concerned mainly the trace metals analyis by ICP-MS and ICP-AES, and the developments of new preconcentration methods based on ion-exchange polymers. From November 2001 to October 2004 he attended his PhD degree in Chemical Science. In this period he carried out his research activity at the Chemical Physical Department of the University Ca' Foscari of Venice, and for shorter periods at the "Laboratoire Liquides Ioniques et Interfaces Chargées (LI2C)" of the Paris CNRS, and at the "Center for research at the Bio/Nano Interfaces" of the Cemical Department of the University of Florida. The main topic of his research was the preparation of electrochemical sensors based on polymeric membrane as surfaces modifiers and as template for nanoelectrodes preparation. During this research activity, he gained experience on electrochemical methods also coupled with microgravimetric systems, and on electrochemical properties of materials such as conducting polymers and polymer composites. Actually he is a researcher at Civen (Coordinamento Interuniversitario VEneto per le Nanotecnologie), which he joined in November 2004. His work consists mainly in the development of nanostructured sensor systems for chemical and electrochemical methods. His main intersts are on surfaces preparation and functionalization of electrodic materials for environmental and medical applications.
