WiGH conveys a feeling of intense unified and passionate commitment on the green hydrogen revolution! It is great to share a strong motivation with all of these brilliant women!
I have been concerned by the topic of energy transition since my teens. As I progressed in my studies, I understood that hydrogen was the key to solve the problem! I wanted to know more, I really wished to work on innovation at this level!
That is the reason why I took a master in Energy Engineering and, then, I joined a PhD program in Industrial Engineering. I got a PhD degree defending a thesis about new application scenarios for fuel cells in renewable energy systems.
Some years have passed by then, and I currently work as a researcher in the Academia. My main research interest are: fuel cells, hydrogen production by electrolysis, energy system design and optimization, energy storage for renewables, hydrogen for cross-sectoral integration.
The deeper the research, the more I claim myself a hydrogen enthusiast!
