Interessi di ricerca

During my PhD in Advanced Catalytic Process for using Renewable Energy Sources (ACCESS) at University of Messina, I investigate the modeling and characterization of materials through both computational and experimental approaches. My research focuses on the phenomena occurring at solid–liquid interfaces, with particular relevance to photoelectrocatalytic applications. First-principles, ab initio simulations provide fundamental insights into the underlying chemical and physical processes. These computational studies, often employing Molecular Dynamics methods, are integrated with experimental data obtained from diverse characterization techniques, including spectroscopic surface analysis and photoelectrocatalytic testing in electrochemical cells.
