PhD project: Multifunctional materials for sustainable thin-film thermoelectric devices
Curriculum:
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Trento in 2020, with a thesis on “Tandem Solar Cells” that catalysed my interest in innovative energy solutions. I then pursued a master’s in Energy Engineering through a inter-university program between the Free University of Bolzano and the University of Trento, graduating in 2023. During my master’s, I spent a research period at the National University of Malaysia (UKM), where I worked on my dissertation project, “Development and Scale-up of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells”. This international experience, guided by Professor Narges Ataollahi, Professor Paolo Scardi, and ChM. Dr. Mohd Sukor Su’ait, played a big role in shaping my commitment to sustainable energy research.
After my master’s, I earned a one-year post-degree scholarship at the University of Trento’s Energy and Materials Laboratory, under the guidance of Professor Paolo Scardi. Here, I focused on sustainable thin-film thermoelectric generators (TEGs) and gained hands-on expertise in developing eco-friendly energy solutions. In November 2024, I began my PhD in the same research group, continuing this line of research. My doctoral research focuses on designing and optimizing sustainable, non-toxic, and cost-effective thin film TEGs, aiming to make real contributions to the field of sustainable energy technology.
