Sergi Colominas Fuster

Sergi Colominas Fuster serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Analytical and Applied Chemistry at the School of Engineering, University Ramon Llull (IQS). His research focuses on developing electrochemical sensors for hydrogen and tritium monitoring in nuclear fusion reactors, with particular expertise in solid electrolyte materials and advanced sensor fabrication techniques.

His primary research interests encompass electrochemical sensors, hydrogen isotope detection, perovskite-based solid electrolytes, lithium-lead eutectic systems, and 3D printing applications for ceramic sensor components. This work directly addresses critical monitoring challenges in next-generation fusion energy systems, especially for tritium management in breeding blanket environments.

Professor Colominas Fuster's publication trends (2024-2025) reveal a concentrated focus on optimizing perovskite-based hydrogen sensors through additive manufacturing techniques, with significant advancements in high-temperature sensor performance for fusion reactor conditions. His research consistently bridges materials science with practical fusion engineering requirements.

He actively leads and participates in major research initiatives including the EUROFUSION Horizon Europe project (2021-2025), ECSFUS sensor development project (2023-2027), and the EUTECTIC industrial production project (2022-2025). These collaborations involve extensive international partnerships within the fusion research community and European funding frameworks.

As a core member of the Electroquímica i Bioanàlisi (EQBA) research group at IQS, he contributes to both fundamental electrochemical studies and applied sensor development. The group maintains strong industry connections and specializes in translating laboratory innovations into solutions for fusion energy challenges.
