The project will combine quantum-mechanical simulations, statistical mechanics, molecular modeling, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to understand and design materials for sustainable energy technologies.
We invite applications from students who obtained their degree outside Italy for a PhD project on innovative materials for energy harvesting. Contact Prof. Meloni at [email protected].
We are happy to announce that our article: “Triboelectrification during non-wetting liquids intrusion–extrusion in hydrophobic nanoporous silicon monoliths” is among the most downloaded papers of 2025 in Nano Energy. Congratulations to all the authors!
