His Ph. D. thesis was awarded summa cum laude by the School of Doctorate of the Politecnico di Milano, after an international peer-review evaluation. From June 2006 to July 2007 he joined the group of Prof. Dionisios G. Vlachos as visiting scholar at the Center for Catalytic Science and Technology (CCST) – Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Delaware (USA), one of the top-ten US universities in Chemical Engineering. From 2006 to 2007, he has been member of the Catalysis Club of Philadelphia (USA). From 2004 to 2008 he has been external consultant, working on process engineering and chemical plant design for an engineering company located in Italy (MITec s.r.l.). From October 2007 to November 2008, he has been contract researcher at the Laboratory of Catalysis and Catalytic Processes (LCCP) – Department of Energy, Politecnico di Milano and since December 2008 he is assistant professor of Chemical Engineering at the same university. From February 2009 to September 2010 he has been member of the Fritz-Haber-Institut der MaxPlanck-Gesellschaft (Theory Department, headed by Prof. Matthias Scheffler) in Berlin (Germany). There, he has joined the group of Prof. Karsten Reuter to perform a postdoctoral research period on first principles statistical mechanics type studies for the fundamental investigation of surface catalytic phenomena. In 2009 he has been the recipient of an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship presented by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (Germany). The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation is a foundation established by the Federal Republic of Germany, with aim of promoting international scientific cooperation between highly qualified researchers. Sponsorship is limited to those individuals who have demonstrated outstanding achievements in research and who contribute significantly to international cooperation and understanding. In 2011, he got the full-extension of the Alexander von Humboldt grant for a postdoctoral period at the Catalysis Research Center (CRC) of the Technische Universität München, Germany. Matteo Maestri is co-author of more than 50 international publications, including papers, contributions to books and conference proceedings. He is also the co-author of a state-of-the-art review on the design of fixed-bed reactors for EUROKIN (EUROKIN is a consortium of industrial and academic members whose aim is the implementation of best practise in the area of chemical reaction kinetics, particularly in the industrial environment). He has been the recipient of a Young Scientist Award at the 14th International Congress on Catalysis (Seoul, Korea, July 13-18th, 2008), presented by the International Association of Catalysis Societies (IACS); a Young Research Award at the 21st International Symposium on Chemical Reaction Engineering (ISCRE), June 13-16, 2010, Philadelphia, USA; of a Young Scientist Award at the 15th Curriculum Vitae – Page 2 of 17 – update: October 2013 MATTEO MAESTRI – SCIENTIFIC CV International Congress on Catalysis (Munich, Germany, July 1-6th, 2012), presented by the International Association of Catalysis Societies (IACS). Research Interests During his research activity, he has developed interdisciplinary skills and expertise at different scales, spanning from macroscopic chemical reaction engineering to first-principles studies addressing elementary processes at the nanoscale. This research experience was gained in an interdisciplinary corridor between catalysis and reaction engineering and between physical chemistry (semi-empirical and first-principles methods) and chemical engineering (transport phenomena, applied mathematics, numerical analysis). His main research interests are: Heterogeneous catalysis. Catalytic partial oxidation and reforming of hydrocarbons for hydrogen production. Multiscale modeling of catalytic chemical processes. First principles guided chemical reaction engineering. Reactor analysis and design. Microkinetic modeling. Computational fluid dynamics of reacting flows at surfaces (www.catalyticfoam.polimi.it).
