Biography

I am a Chemical Engineer, specialized in Industrial Processes, and hold a PhD in Industrial Engineering and Production. My research focuses on the design, synthesis, and characterization of metal oxide–based nanomaterials for their application as photocatalysts in the fields of energy and the environment. I have made significant contributions to the development of efficient catalytic systems for the valorization of greenhouse gases and the mitigation of climate change. In addition, I have experience in photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen production coupled with the conversion of biomass into high value-added chemicals, the design of nanostructured metal oxide anodes for lithium-ion batteries, and the synthesis of semiconductors for the removal of emerging contaminants.

I have published 90 scientific articles in indexed international journals (61 in Q1), with an h-index of 24 and more than 1,500 citations, and I have participated in numerous conferences, most of them international. I have obtained competitive funding as Principal Investigator in five competitive projects. I have participated in 16 publicly funded research projects and in 12 contracts with companies. I collaborate with international research groups and have carried out three research stays at the Institute for Surface Science and Corrosion (FAU Erlangen–Nuremberg).
