About
Eliana Lasorsa is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of additive manufacturing and sustainable catalysis. Her primary research areas include three-dimensional printing of catalytic systems, heterogeneous catalysis, and green chemistry methodologies for carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. Lasorsa’s major contribution lies in the innovative integration of reactor design and catalyst support through 3D printing, as demonstrated in her most-cited work (2020, 32 citations), where she developed a polypropylene reactor with an impregnated palladium-on-silica monolithic catalyst. This system enables efficient, reusable catalysis for Sonogashira and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions using a robotic orbital shaker—significantly reducing waste and improving process intensification. Her work has been recognized for advancing the principles of circular economy in chemical manufacturing, achieving high catalytic activity with minimal palladium leaching. By merging materials science with digital fabrication, Lasorsa has opened new pathways for designing modular, recyclable catalytic devices. Her research continues to influence the development of sustainable, scalable chemical processes, making her a notable figure in the field of 3D-printed catalytic engineering.
