LA GANGA Giuseppina

Giuseppina La Ganga since 25 November 2022 is Associate Professor of Physical Chemistry at University of Messina. Laurea in Chemistry (2009) and PhD in Chemical Sciences (2013 UNIME - These: “Artificial Photosynthesis: a molecular approach to photo-induced water oxidation”). She was in the organizing committee of several national and international Conferences (e.g.: Italian Photochemistry meeting, 2010, Giardini Naxos (ME)); UKIT19, 2019, Lipari (ME)). She works in the field of supramolecular photochemistry with particular attention to the photochemical conversion of solar energy. The activity carried out concerned the design and study of artificial photosynthetic systems suitable for realize the photo-induced production of molecular oxygen from water, using a molecular approach based on the principles of natural photosynthesis. GLG also does interested in the study of the photophysical and redox properties of new supramolecular species. Her research activity is evidenced by 34 scientific publications (Total citations 1103; h-index 16, Scopus May 2023) in peer reviewed international journals; . In 2014 she received EPA Prize for the best PhD thesis in Photochemistry 2014 from European Photochemistry Association (EPA). In 2019 she received GIF Young Investigator Award from Gruppo italiano di Fotochimica (italian section of EPA)
He has attended 22 national and international conferences (including oral and poster presentations). He is referee for several international journals (Frontiers, ChemElectroChem, Photochemical and Photobiological Sciences, European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry). She was referee for a research project in the context of 2022 Regular FONDECYT National Projects Competition, an initiative of the Sub-Directorate for Research Projects. (National Research and Development Agency (ANID) of the Ministry of Science, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation of Chile).
She was a Participant to different projects (FIRB, MAECI Italia-Giappone, PON)
