Engineering of Electrodes for Renewable Energy Storage and Hydrogen Production: Improvement of Materials and Scale-Up

Renewable energy is considered a key element in achieving a sustainable energy transition and a reliable alternative to achieve zero emissions. Among the different renewable sources, solar and wind energy have shown the most significant growth, supported by technological advances in photovoltaic, eolic, and wave energy conversion systems, which make them ready to use. However, these sources are inherently intermittent, as their output strongly depends on weather conditions and time of day, le...

Smart Human Machine Interface Using Piezoelectric Sensors and Artificial Intelligence

The sense of touch is essential for stable object manipulation, safe interaction, and embodiment. In upper-limb prosthetics, however, tactile sensation is largely absent, forcing users to rely heavily on vision and increasing cognitive load. Addressing this limitation requires not only tactile sensors, but also mechanically compliant and scalable hand sensorization, reliable real-time decoding of tactile signals under variable contact conditions, and feedback-ready outputs that can be tr...

Green chemical conversion of whole fungal mycelium into biodegradable films for sustainable material development

The escalating environmental impact of petroleum-based plastics demands the urgent development of sustainable, bio-based alternatives. While most research has focused on biopolymers derived from cellulose and plant or animal proteins, fungal mycelium has only recently emerged as a promising biomaterial. This PhD project explores the unexploited potential of fungal mycelium, as a renewable resource within a circular economy framework. A novel, streamlined chemical process was developed to prod...

Biopolymer-Based Hydrogel Systems: Towards Advanced Wound Healing Materials from Marine Waste-Derived Resources

Collagen is a structural protein that forms a triple-helical fibrillar network that provides integrity and mechanical strength to various tissues, including skin, tendons, and bones. Type I collagen is the most abundant and widely used in biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility, biomimeticity, and recognition by cells as a key component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) [1]. Although collagen has been exploited in hydrogels, fibers, and composite biomaterials, large-scale applicat...

Molecular and functional study of genes associated with epilepsy and movement disorders

Paroxysmal neurological disorders, including early-onset epilepsies and movement disorders, arise from alterations in neuronal excitability and network stability. The identification of disease-associated genes has provided crucial insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying these conditions. A powerful approach to investigate such mechanisms is the functional characterization of pathogenic variants identified in patients. In this PhD project, I studied disease-causing variants...
