Research Objectives

My team research evolves around the concept ‘comprehend to construct’, applied to electrocatalysis. Specifically, it consists in the development of new methods and tools to understand the electrode | electrolyte interface (i.e., the local reaction environment in which electrocatalysis happens) and, from this new knowledge in the identification of the key properties that should be integrated into the future generations of electrocatalysts and electrochemical systems and their subsequent development.
