My scientific interests lie in the development of novel materials for energy related applications. Highly efficient and robust electrochemical processes will be crucial for the widespread implementation of technologies making use of renewable sources of energy for generation (e.g. photovoltaics), storage (e.g. batteries & supercapacitors) and transformation (e.g. carbon-capture, hydrogen generation, water purification, etc.). The development of novel materials that outperform the current state-of-the-art or enable next-generation applications with ultra-high efficiency will rely on a deeper understanding of their activity, at smaller time and length scales and during operando conditions. In particular, the main current limitations in the implementation of improved energy solutions rest in our inability for controlling the reactivity at the interfaces of their components (electrode-electrolyte).
