1992 – Present: Teacher in courses of Industrial Chemistry for Bachelor and Master degree in Industrial Chemistry, UNIPI. Invited Teacher in Italian and International Summer Schools.

MAIN RESEARCH ACTIVITY
The research activity of is focused on applied catalysis devoted to process and product innovation. She is Head of the research group Greencat (http://greencat.dcci.unipi.it/) and has a long experience in the optimization of many types of catalytic reactions such as acid hydrolysis, hydrogenations, carbonylations, basic condensations, oligomerization/polymerization reactions. In particular the research team has a strong expertise on the catalytic and biocatalytic conversion of renewable resources. Moreover, sustainable and safe reaction approaches, such as the use of water medium and of heterogeneous catalysts, but also the adoption of microwave and ultrasonic heating were preferred also for the optimization of many industrial processes. Particular attention was also devoted to the improvement of process and product safety.

Fabio Fava (1963) was graduated cum laude in "Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technologies" at the Alma Mater Studiorum-University of Bologna (Italy) and he earned his Ph.D. in "Applied Microbiology" from the Institute of Chemical Technology of the University of Prague (Czech Republic). He was visiting scientist at the following US institutions, namely: a) New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJ, USA), b) Hazardous Substance Management Research Center (NJ, USA), and c) Rutgers University (NJ, USA) in 1993, 1994 and 1999, respectively. He is Full Professor of Industrial & Environmental Biotechnology at the School of Engineering of the Alma Mater Studiorum-University of Bologna (Italy) since 2005. He served the same School as Dean's Delegate for International relations from 2005 to 2012. He served the Department of Civil, Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering of the same University as Deputy Head (2010-2015) and the Coordinator of the Ph.D. programme in Civil, Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering (2013-2016). Then, he has been Deputy Rector of the University of Bologna for Industrial Research, territorial cooperation and innovation from 2015 to 2021, and he is currently the Chair of the
Inter-Departmental Center "Alma Mater Institute on Healthy Planet", joined by 22 Departments of the same University (2021-).
He published about 250 scientific papers, 190 of which on medium/high IF peer-review international journals of industrial and environmental biotechnology and circular Bioeconomy. He has 9102 overall citations, a h-index of 57 and an i10 index of 148 (Google Scholar) along with 185 papers quoted by Scopus.
He is actively working in the fields of environmental and industrial biotechnology and of the Circular Bioeconomy in the frame of a number of national projects (funded by Italian ministries, Regions and companies) and European collaborative projects. He coordinated the research project NATO Science for Peace n. 973720 on the development and assessment of innovative intensified technologies for the bioremediation of (chlorinated) hydrocarbon-contaminated soils and participated in the EU Coordination Action EURODEMO (FP6) on the comparison of verified technologies applied in Europe in the sustainable remediation of contaminated sites and in the European Defense Agency (EDA) project NBC Modeling and Simulation (ERG1 TA 113-034). He coordinated the FP7 collaborative projects NAMASTE (on the integrated exploitation of citrus and cereal processing byproducts with the production of food ingredients and new food products) and BIOCLEAN (aiming at the development of biotechnological processes and strategies for the bioremediation and the tailored depolymerization of major oil-deriving plastics). He also coordinated the Unit of the University of Bologna who participated in the FP7 collaborative projects ECOBIOCAP and ROUTES (on the production of microbial polymers from different organic waste and food processing effluents), MINOTAURUS and WATER4CROPS (on the intensified bioremediation of contaminated waste- and ground-water and the integrated valorization and decontamination of wastewater coming from the food processing industry and biorefinery), and ULIXES and KILL SPILL (on the development of strategies for intensifying the in situ bioremediation of marine sediments contaminated by (chlorinated)hydrocarbons and the isolation and industrial exploitation of microbes from such contaminated matrices). He is also the Coordinator of the PRIN project "Vision" (2018-).

In October 2001, he graduated "cum laude" (5-year degree) in Chemistry at the University of Bari. In March 2005, he got his PhD in "Applied Enzymatic and Chemical Synthesis "by discussing the thesis entitled "Utilization of Carbon Dioxide for the functionalization of organic substrates with the assistance of metal complexes or enzymatic systems". Since 2011 he works as a researcher at the "National Council of Research "at the "Water Research Institute" (CNR-IRSA).
In November 2020, he got National Scientific Enabling to teach in Universities in the CHIM07 Area – Chemical Fundamentals of Technologies (Seconda Fascia 03/B2).
Member of the Italian Chemical Society, Environmental Division and Chemistry for Technologies Division, Green Chemistry Group. Member of the editorial board of Biomass, MDPI.
Area of interests: The main research topics concern the chemical characterization of waste biomasses (urban organic waste, sewage sludge, vegetable and animal oils) to identify the relevant chemical potential and design/optimize innovative sustainable processes to recover resources to implement the "Circular Economy" scenario with new solutions.
The main research areas are about
- Characterization and valorization of lignocellulose to obtain biofuels and/or high-value molecules;
- Characterization and valorization of waste oils for the production of biodiesel;
- Intensification of processes
- Use of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis in chemical synthesis;
- Use of unconventional solvents in chemical and enzymatic synthesis (Super-critical Fluids);
- Chemistry of coordination compounds and organometallic chemistry, the chemistry of metal transition centers in their low oxidation state and use in catalysis.
