​

Graduated in Chemical Engineering at University of Rome La Sapienza in 2021 with a thesis on the use of green hydrogen as substitute of carbon coke as fuel in the shaft furnace of steelmaking cycle process. His main research activities are the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors (Steel, Cast Iron, Cement and Glass) by the substitution of fossil fuels with waste-based ones. The work analyzes the whole process cycle and the chamber thermal profile and flame aerodynamic of rotary kiln and analogous facilities in CFD environment. In parallel, as experimental work, he carries out research on nanoparticles production for the development of innovative CO2 nanoabsorbents.
