Silvi Research Group
@SilviResearch
We are a group of passionate scientists. We use modern tools of organic chemistry to build up a more enjoyable and sustainable future.
One of our #MostRead papers this year includes "Polarity Transduction Enables the Formal Electronically Mismatched Radical Addition to Alkenes" by Subhasis Paul, Dario Filippini, and Mattia Silvi Explore this #OpenAccess paper published in Jan 2023: go.acs.org/7rb
Honoured to receive such a prestigious recognition. Thanks #RSCprizes and special thanks to our funders @EPSRC, @AstraZeneca, @royalsociety, @LeverhulmeTrust, @EU_Commission, @ChemistryUoN, and to all the present and past members of my research group. rsc.org/standards-and-…

Pizza meal to say goodbye to our MSci student Sonny, who did a great job in our lab functionalizing big, complex molecules! All the best for your next career step, Sonny!

Last week we said goodbye to our visiting PhD student Francesca Sardelli from @Unipisa. Francesca did a great job in our group and we wish her all the best for her future career! 🙂

This week, for our @ChemistryUoN seminars, we hosted @Melchiorre_P @MelchiorreGroup who gave a brilliant talk about combining photochemistry with organocatalysis, transition metal catalysis and biocatalysis to expand the boundaries of traditional asymmetric catalysis.


All the best to our visiting PhD student @Robi_Coc from @MelchiorreGroup who will be returning home to continue her studies @Unibo. Roberta did a great job with us @ChemistryUoN. Picture from her farewell meal (Robi first left in pic).

Happy to share our latest work, a practical and iterative protocol for carboxylic acid homologation, today online in @J_A_C_S. Well done to @WheatleyEmilie and George for their exceptional work on this. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
This year, we enjoyed a pizza Christmas dinner. Merry Christmas everybody from the Silvi Research Group! 🎄🎅🎁

Had a great time @univaq , so many enthusiastic students, glad to contribute to inspire them with discussions and teaching activities about photochemistry. A big thanks to @CarloneResearch for the organisation and, oh man, the arrosticini were absolutely fabulous.
We kept it quiet but, hey, @SilviResearch was visiting professor with us @univaq for the whole September. It was incredible to have you with us, Mattia. This was us dining with typical arrosticini from L'Aquila to wish farewell to Mattia.
🚨👩🔬Welcome to @CherryMarsh17 who joined us as a summer research student from @UniofOxford ⚗️💡

🚨 New group member 👩🔬 Welcome to @Robi_Coc who recently joined us as a 6-month visiting PhD student from @Unibo @MelchiorreGroup ⚗️💡

All the best to our former visiting student @Giovanni_Cent11 from @Unibo @LabSynthesis @gbbencio who today finished his research period with us and comes back to Italy to complete his PhD. Giovanni did a great job with us and it was truly a pleasure to host him!

Last week we said goodbye to our postdoc @Subhasis2107 (at the other side of the table in pic). Subhasis has been a giant of the group and we wish him all the best for his future career in India!
