Research: Carbon dioxide sequestration from cement plant fumes and other hard-to-abate industry sectors using reversible molten carbonate fuel cells: development of the simulation model and implementation in the process cycle
PhD Candidate in Chemical Processes for Industry and Environment, 39th cycle.
Research Fellow since March 2023 at the ENEA Research Center in Casaccia, within the Department of Energy Technologies and Renewable Sources (TERIN). Research activities focus on the study, modeling, and testing of molten carbonate fuel cells and electrolyzers (MCFC - MCEC) for hydrogen production and use, with simultaneous carbon dioxide capture.
Four months of experience at the BASF chemical plant in Rome, managing the Utilities and Effluents department.
Former Research Fellow at the Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Bologna, from November 2021 to November 2022. During this period, collaborated with ENEA on the project "Technologies for efficient penetration of the electric vector into final uses – Electric system research," focusing on numerical characterization of the seasonal thermal field produced by geothermal probes.
Holder of a Scientific High School Diploma and a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering. Completed the Master's degree in Chemical Process Engineering (LM-22) at Sapienza University of Rome in May 2021, presenting the thesis titled: "Modeling of the purification process of syngas produced from solid urban waste gasification."
Certified as a Professional Industrial Engineer in the second session of 2021.
