Research Interest
My research interests lie in the understanding of the structure-properties relationship of materials for sustainable energy, such as heterogeneous catalysts, CO2 capture and solid oxide fuel cells materials; with the aim of designing new functional structures. I use synchrotron X-ray and neutron based techniques in order to reveal the structure of the materials at different length scales.
