Alberto Credi was born in 1970. He received his ‘Laurea’ (1994) from the University of Bologna where, after a research period in the United States, he also earned his Ph.D. (1999). He is currently associate professor of chemistry at his alma mater. He received several scientific awards, including the IUPAC Prize for young chemists, and co-authored more than one hundred scientific papers in the fields of molecular and supramolecular photochemistry and electrochemistry. He is also the co-author (together with V. Balzani and M. Venturi) of a monograph entitled Molecular Devices and Machines, and of a handbook of photochemistry.
