Prof. Paolo Mele’s visit to Department of Applied Science and Technology
On September 8th, Prof. Paolo Mele of the Shibaura Institute of Technology visited the Department of Applied Science and Technology, where, at the invitation of Profs. Laura Gozzelino and Jean-Marc Tulliani, he gave a seminar titled “Thermoelectric modules based on thin films for IoT applications”.
In the seminar, Prof. Mele gave an overview of the ongoing research topic in his lab, then focusing on his research activity in the framework of thermoelectric materials and devices based on them. After the seminar, Prof. Mele visited Profs. Tulliani and Gozzelino group’s labs and had extensive discussions with the members of the two groups regarding opportunities for a future strict collaboration on energy materials. In particular, it emerged a common interest in the deposition of oxide films by pulsed laser deposition technique to be tested as sensing materials for gas sensors. The growth of high-temperature superconducting films with pinning properties optimized via irradiation processes is another topic that will be developed in collaboration.
Finally, the day of visit ended with a meeting where Prof. Edoardo Bruno, on behalf of the Japan hub, and Dr. Elisa Armando of the International Relations Office presented the Japan hub mission highlighting the many opportunities of academic collaborations supported by the Japan hub, also at teaching and Ph.D. level.
