Characterization of perovskite based electrodes and CeO2-based electrolytes for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) by in-house (XPS, SEM, TEM, XRD) and synchrotron radiation (XANES, EXAFS, PDF) techniques.

Teaching assistant for the didactic laboratory in the “Analytical Chemistry” and “Instrumental Analytical Chemistry” courses in the Chemistry Bachelor of Science degree. My main responsibilities were the practical teaching of basic laboratory techniques (e.g., pipetting, filtration, titration), separation techniques (e.g., Liquid-Liquid, Solid Phase Extraction), and instrumental techniques (Gas Chromatography, High-Performance Liquid Chromatography and Infrared Spectroscopy).

I worked under the supervision of Dr. Marco Altomare in the PhotoCatalytic Synthesis (PCS) group led by Prof. Guido Mul. My focus was the development of nanostructured photocatalysts for sustainable hydrogen production. During this collaboration, I also had the chance to conduct research in international facilities such as ESRF, DESY, and ELETTRA synchrotrons.
