Expertise & research interests

  • Materials scientist with extensive experience in synthesis and structural characterization of compounds for various technological applications
  • Expert in investigation of materials for energy conversion & storage with particular focus on hydrogen storage technologies
  • Specialist in material synthesis by metallurgical/non-equilibrium methods and structural/electrochemical/thermodynamic characterization of solid-state compounds
  • Crystallographer with expertise in design & execution of experimental studies on materials for energy conversion & storage with synchrotron X-ray/neutron diffraction techniques
  • Manager of laboratories for synthesis and characterisation of solid-state materials 
  • Beneficiary and participant of various national/international projects on hydrogen storage materials, oxides, semiconductors and magnetic phases

I hold a doctorate in Crystallography (hydrogen storage) from the University of Geneva, which I obtained as MSCA Fellow in the HYTRAIN Research Training Network. Before joining the Department of Technology Systems, I worked as a scientist at the Department of Physics (UiO), and as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute for Energy Technology in Kjeller (Norway). My research is focused on development of novel sustainable energy materials and green technologies for renewable energy systems, with a particular focus on energy storage solutions. My work is highly cross-disciplinary, linking the material- and element-focused research with the system-oriented approach. As an individual, who is passionate about expanding borders, I love to apply my creativity and analytical skills to explore new possibilities, areas and connections.
