Research area

The area of investigation focuses on materials science, including the processing and characterization of various materials for energy applications like thermoelectrics and electrolytes designed for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC). It also covers gas sensors, biopolymer-based pesticides for forest protection, nanoencapsulation and controlled release of active components, biopolymer-based composites for biomedical uses, and biosensors for agricultural applications.

Skills

Work on devices: scanning electron microscope (SEM), ICP, UV/Vis spectrophotometer, Zetasizer
