Characterization of nanostructured materials
In situ / operando characterization

Biography

My research activity is characterized by a multidisciplinary approach, based on a strong theoretical background coupled with extensive experimental research experience in the field of nanotechnology.I am interested in the chemical, morphological and structural investigation of nanostructured materials for energy and sustainability applications. I am an experienced electron microscopist, currently investigating advanced in-situ/in-operando electrochemical liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy techniques.
