Vittorio Pace has been a full professor of organic chemistry at the University of Torino (Italy) since March 2020. He earned his Ph.D. in chemical sciences at the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain) and, after three post-doctoral stays in Vienna (Austria), Manchester (UK), and Stockholm (Sweden), he started his independent career in Vienna in 2014, launching a group with a strong focus on homologation chemistry.
