Biography
Francesca Frascella completed her degree in Advanced Chemical Methodologies at University of Torino in 2005 and PhD in Materials Science and Technology at Politecnico di Torino in 2009. During her PhD, she spent four months at Center for Photonics and Photonic Materials, Department of Physics of University of Bath (UK). Since 2009, she is a Post-doc Researcher at Politecnico di Torino. Her past activities concerned the preparation and surface chemical modification of porous silicon-based materials for applications in sensing. Furthermore, she was devoted to the chemical modification of several materials surface, both inorganic and polymeric, especially by means of plasma-assisted techniques. Currently, her research activity is focused on “New azo-polymer materials for reversible patterning of substrates hosting living cell cultures”. She is author of more than 25 peer-reviewed papers in international journals.
