Biography
Daniele Versaci, was graduated in Environmental Chemistry from the University of Turin in 2014, focusing on hybrid anodic materials for lithium-ion batteries. He earned his Ph.D. with honors in Material Science and Technology from Politecnico di Torino in April 2021, specializing in advanced cathode and anode materials for high-energy Li-ion and post-Li-ion batteries. With 30+ co-authored papers in international peer-reviewed journals, an international patent, and significant contributions to scientific conferences, Versaci is now an assistant professor at Politecnico di Torino. His current research focuses on the development and electrode processing optimization of innovative active materials for energy storage applications.
