Giuseppe Pascuzzi first studied chemistry at a technical high school before moving on to Politecnico di Milano (Italy), where he obtained both his Bachelor and Master degrees in Materials Engineering and Nanotechnology. Throughout these studies he developed broad expertise across materials manufacturing, surface coatings, metal alloys, ceramics, nanostructured materials, and polymers. He earned his Ph.D. in Materials Engineering in 2025 at the Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering "Giulio Natta" at Politecnico di Milano (Italy).

Under the supervision of Prof. Gianmarco Griffini, his doctoral research centered on functional polymers and composites derived from sustainable, low-impact precursors, namely lignin and sulfur, for use in lithium and potassium batteries. The aim was to valorize sulfur-based molecules (a by-product of petroleum refining) and lignin (a natural waste product of the paper industry) into polymers that are both sustainable and functional in battery applications, in line with the principles of circular economy and environmental sustainability. As part of his Ph.D., he carried out a PhD research stay visiting at POLYMAT of UPV/EHU (Spain) in the Innovative Polymers Group led by Prof. Davide Mecerreyes. There, his work focused on designing polyethylene glycol (PEG) networks incorporating various functionalized sulfur-based moieties to serve as solid polymer electrolytes for lithium batteries.

He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at POLYMAT within the Innovative Polymers Group. His research takes an interdisciplinary approach, combining the electrochemical, thermal, mechanical, and macromolecular characterization of materials to elucidate polymer structure–property relationships. His research interests span polymer chemistry, chemical synthesis, electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices, with a particular focus on sustainability and low environmental impact. His works have involved the synthesis and manufacturing of innovative polymeric materials, including ionic polymers, linear and crosslinked systems, with the goal of enhancing their functional properties, performance and durability in target applications.
