My organisation

WMG is an academic department at the University of Warwick, with internationally recognised expertise and facilities in electrification and battery research and development. Recognized for excellence in research, teaching, innovation, and industry collaboration, WMG serves as a global role model for successful partnerships between academia and the public and private sectors. WMG’s state-of-the art Energy Innovation Centre (EIC) features facilities spanning the entire battery development process. Key areas of expertise include the development of new battery chemistries, manufacturing and engineering processes that are scalable from materials through to cell, system and application, advanced characterisation, systems engineering and control methods to optimise the creation and integration of energy storage technology across many sectors. Our Battery Scale-Up (BSU) facility can produce full-size prototype cells of consolidated and novel battery chemistries accelerating innovation from early-stage concepts to higher technology readiness levels (TRLs).

About me

I am Associate Professor of Electrochemical Materials in WMG at the University of Warwick (UK).

I am a chemist by background and for the past 15 years my research activities have been focused on the development and characterization of battery materials and their implementation in cell prototypes. I completed my PhD in 2015 on the design and characterization of sodium-ion battery materials at Sapienza University of Rome (Italy) and gained broad experience in electrochemical energy storage systems during her postdoctoral appointments at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (California, USA) and at the Helmholtz Institute Ulm (Germany).

My research activities at WMG are directed towards the understanding of the processes governing lithium and sodium-ion batteries. At the Energy Innovation Centre, I am working toward the development and scale up of new battery chemistries from concept to full proven cell prototypes. I am Principal Investigator in WMG (as WP leader or Task leader) in several EU-funded projects (e.g. SIMBA, SALAMANDER, RESPECT, eNargiZinc, EPISODE) and I serve as technical advisor for the “New and Emerging battery technologies” Working Group 1 of Batteries Europe/BEPA.
