ESR Fellow (Marie Curie Early Stage Program: Southampton Early Stage Training in Structural & Materials Chemistry).
Università degli studi di Cagliari, Cagliari, Italy.
Crystal engineer, molecular/ion binding and sensing, functional materials.
Dr Riccardo Montis studied Chemistry at the University of Cagliari (Italy) and obtained his PhD in 2011 at the University of Southampton (UK) working on crystal engineering, structural systematic and single crystal X-ray diffraction. His research interests cover different aspects of supramolecular chemistry, crystal engineering and crystal growth.
