The Advisory Board
The CHARISMA advisory board is a group of professionals from the relevant areas who meet regularly with the consortium throughout the project. They will support and advise the consortium on all scientific issues, on ethics and on exploitation and dissemination of results, ensures early buy in and its members to become project advocates & ambassadors and relevance for standardisation and industry.
Advisory Board Members
Dr. Richard Crocombe
Richard Crocombe, Ph.D., is the principal at Crocombe Spectroscopic Consulting, and was previously at several major analytical instrument companies. He has been working with miniature and portable spectrometers for the past 15 years and has written extensively on miniature instruments, spectroscopy and imaging in refereed journals, including being Guest Editor for special issue of 'Applied Spectroscopy' on portable and handheld spectroscopy (May 2016).
Prof. Pietro Asinari
Prof. Pietro Asinari is a scientific director at the Italian National Metrology Institute (INRiM).
His research lies in the field of energy and environmental sustainability, in particular regarding the use of renewable sources for the production of drinking water, the heat and mass transfer in energy devices, and the numerical modelling of materials.
Dr. Giampiero Amato
Giampiero Amato is the director at INRiM. He worked on Amorphous Silicon, (1988-1994), Porous Silicon, (1994-2014) and Graphene and 2D materials (2013-2021).
Dr. Egon Willighagen
Dr. Egon Willighagen is an assistant professor at Maastricht University, studying biology at an unsupervised but atomic level. Open science is his main hobby resulting in participation in, among many others, Bioclipse, the Chemisty Development Kit and WikiPathways. As an assistant professor in the life sciences he is applying statistics and cheminformatics to biological questions. Specific fields of interest are: metabolomics, drug discovery, predictive toxicology, chemometrics, cheminformatics, semantic web and statistics.
Prof. Giulietta Smulevich
Giulietta Smulevich is Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Florence. Her expertise is within the biophysical chemistry field, using electronic and vibrational spectroscopies. Specific fields of interest include the study of the structure-function relationships in hemeproteins, and the development of chemical sensors for contaminants in food and in the environment.
