Michele Bigica is a Ph.D Student of Chimica Industriale (XXXVIII cycle) at Università degli Studi di Milano. In particular, the Ph.D. is an Industrial Scholarship, co-funded by RSE S.p.A.
The project is titled “Development of catalytic conductive materials composed of carbon and hydroxyapatite for electromethanogenesis processes” and it is focused on the synthesis of new composite materials for the prodouction of methane from carbon dioxide.
He obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Chemistry at Università degli Studi di Milano in December 2020, working on a review thesis (due to the Covid-19 restrictions) titled “CATALIZZATORI CON PROPRIETA’ ACIDE WATER-TOLERANT: CARATTERIZZAZIONE DELL’ACIDITA’ SUPERFICIALE E APPLICAZIONI NELLA CONVERSIONE DI BIOMASSA” under the supervision of Professor Antonella Gervasini and Doctor Sebastiano Campisi.
The Master’s Degree Thesis was supervised by Professor Gervasini and Doctor Campisi too. He worked on “NEW GREEN TERNARY ACIDIC SOLIDS FOR THE HYDROLYSIS OF CARBOHYDRATE BIOMASS”, obtaining the Degree in September 2022.
