Francesco Bonaccorso
Team Leader & Scientific Director
Francesco Bonaccorso gained the PhD from the University of Messina. In 2009 he was awarded a Royal Society Newton International Fellowship at Cambridge University, and elected to a Research Fellowship at Hughes Hall, Cambridge, where he also obtained a MA. He is the Scientific Director of BeDimensional SpA and visiting Scientist at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia. He was responsible in defining the S&T roadmap for the Graphene Flagship, being now the Deputy of Innovation. He is currently also involved in other European projects (SENSIBAT, ULTIMATE, DIAMOND, PERSEUS) and he is the project coordinator of GREENCAP. He is author of more than 190 publications, 14 patents/patent applications and more than 200 invited presentations. He was featured as 2016 Emerging Investigator by J. Mater. Chem. A and in 2019 by ChemPlusChem. In 2018 he was recognized as Highly cited Scientist by Clarivate Analytics. In 2019 he received the Magister Peloritanus by Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti and ExAllievi Eccellenti by the University of Messina. He co-founded Cambridge Graphene Ltd and BeDimensional SpA.

Sebastiano Bellani
Senior Scientist
Sebastiano Bellani is a senior researcher of BeDimensional S.p.A. He received his Ph.D. from Politecnico di Milano, while working at Instituto Italiano di Tecnologia. Here, he investigated solid/liquid interfaces in organic semiconductor water-gated organic field-effect transistors, hybrid organic-inorganic photoelectrochemical cells and biopolymer-based devices for optical cellular stimulation. Currently, he is participating in the European Commission’s Future and Emerging Technology Graphene Flagship and research and innovation project SENSIBAT. His current studies focus on the chemical-physical, spectroscopic and (photo)electrochemical characterization of solution-processed two-dimensional materials for functional inks (electrically conductive adhesive and films, anticorrosion coatings) and energy-related applications, including photovoltaics, (photo)electrocatalysis and energy storage systems.

Project Administration
Anja Clarissa Bouerdick-Berdondini was born in 1973, in Uster (Switzerland) and is currently Project Assistant under the General Director of BeDimensional S.p.A. She received in 1999 a M.Sc. Degree in Social Sciences at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. She gained experience in Project Cycle Management, first in the field of the International Humanitarian Cooperation and since 2014 as project manager in the field of 2D materials R&D in the Graphene Labs of the Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Genoa (Italy). In particular, she was supporting the management of the Graphene Flagship activities and the industrial R&D projects. She joined BeDimensional S.p.A. in September 2019 and is in charge of following and coordinating with the General Director all the internal and external R&D projects (EU, national, regional, international) with industries and research entities.
