Bruno Scrosati received his degree in chemistry in 1966, and in 1969, his doctoral degree in electrochemistry, both from the University of Rome. From 1964 to 1966, he was a research associate in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Illinois. In 1970 and 1971, he was a Summer Visiting Scientist at Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill, NJ. Since 1980 he has been a full professor of Electrochemistry at the University of Rome. In the fall of 1990, he was the George T. Piercy Distinguished visiting professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Minnesota. In the fall of 1991, he was a Visiting Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1996, he received the title of Doctor in Science, “honoris causa,” Hon. Dsc., from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
For the term 1988-1991, he was vice-president and president of the International Society of Solid-State Ionics; in 1996-1998, president of the Italian Chemical Society; and since 1989, a member of the Italian Commission of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). He was elected in 2000 as a vice-president of The Electrochemical Society. In 1997, he received the Research Award of the ECS Battery Division. He is a member (2000-2002) of the Faraday Division of the Council of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Dr. Scrosati is currently the European editor of the Journal of Power Sources; and is a member of the editorial boards of various international journals, which include Solid State Ionics, Journal of Applied Electrochemistry, Progress in Solid State Chemistry, Ionics, The Chemical Records, and La Chimica e l’Industria. Dr. Scrosati is listed among the ten thousand most cited chemists in the world. He is author of more than 330 scientific publications, 9 books, 10 chapters in books, and 16 patents.
