Alberto Gasparotto graduated in Chemistry from the University of Padua with full marks in 2002. He subsequently worked on the study of II-VI semiconductor thin films in the fremework of a scholarship funded by the INSTM Consortium. From 2003 to 2005 he attended the Doctoral School in Chemical Sciences, developing a doctoral thesis entitled "Organized architectures of nanosystems of metals, oxides and sulphides for special applications using innovative technologies" specializing in particular on synthesis techniques based on the use of cold plasmas. During this period he also spent a six-month research stay at the Institute of Inorganic Methodologies and Plasmas (IMIP-CNR) in Bari. Subsequently, he was Collaborator for the INSTM Consortium on a FISR research project entitled: " Inorganic and hybrid nanosystems for the development and innovation of fuel cells ". In 2007 he joined the UNIPD Department of Chemical Sciences as Researcher, where he actually held the position of Associate Professor of Inorganic Chemistry since 2016.

Scientific activity [H-index = 44; citations = 6933; IF = medium = 4.82), documented by 152 publications on ISI journals, 2 editorials for Special Issues on ISI journals, 63 publications on non-ISI international journals, 7 publications on non-ISI national journals, 1 book chapter, 1 licensed patent and about 250 communications (see below) at national and international conferences, is located at the intersection between the fields of organometallic chemistry, inorganic chemistry and materials science, and is mainly aimed at the development and use of organometallic compounds as molecular precursors for the synthesis of inorganic materials and nanostructures, to the investigation of the structure-property correlations of nanosystems (clusters, composites, powders, thin films, nanotubes) based on oxides, metals, sulphides, nitrides, etc. for applications ranging from catalysis to optics, from sensors to energy, as well as to the study of related molecular activation processes.

Prof. Gasparotto has carried out and regularly carries out didactic and seminar activities for degree courses in chemistry, industrial chemistry, materials science, optics and optometry, viticultural and oenological sciences and technologies, animal sciences and technologies, and for various masters, workshops and training courses. He has also been supervisor of numerous bachelor's and master's degree theses within the aforementioned degree courses.
