Biography

Ciro Alberghi was born in Faenza, Italy in 1992. He received the B.S. degree in Energy Engineering at Università di Bologna in 2016, and the M.S. degree in Energy and Nuclear Engineering at Politecnico di Torino in 2019. From 2019, he is a PhD student in Energetics at Politecnico di Torino. His research field regards liquid metals magnetohydrodynamics and tritium transport for fusion applications. From 2019 he is also performing research at ENEA C.R. Brasimone, where he follows experimental activities on tritium extraction from liquid metals, estimation of hydrogen isotopes transport properties in LiPb, development of permeation sensors for hydrogen isotopes, characterization of tritium permeation barriers for fusion applications.
