معرفی
Stefania Doppiu serves as Group Leader of the Solid-state Chemical Reactions Area Thermal Energy Storage research group at CIC energiGUNE, a specialized research center focused on energy storage technologies. With extensive international experience gained through European research centers, universities, and private industry, she has established herself as a prominent researcher in advanced materials for thermal applications.
Her research expertise spans Material Science with special focus on advanced processing methods for novel functional materials, particularly thermal energy storage and hydrogen storage materials. Her technical capabilities include synthesis, structural and thermodynamic characterization of metastable materials, mechanochemical processes, heterogeneous phase chemical reactions, and self-sustaining reactions. Key research interests include synthesis of nanostructured materials and composites by solid state reactions, structural characterization of materials, and catalyzing reaction kinetics for technical applications.
Doppiu's publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to thermal energy storage research from 2013 through 2022, with recent work focusing on thermochemical energy storage systems, phase change materials characterization, and novel material development for high-temperature applications. Her research shows particular strength in cobalt-nickel oxide systems, lithium-based compounds for solar applications, and organic phase change materials.
Her scientific recognition includes prestigious awards:
- Individual Fellowship (IF) MARIE SKLODOWSKA-CURIE ACTIONS Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (SOLSTORE project, GA: 752520)
- Graduate fellowship funded by National Consortium of Materials Science and Technology (INSTM)
As an active researcher, Doppiu has presented at international conferences including Enerstock 2021 (as Chairlady) and Materials for Energy 2013, demonstrating leadership in the thermal energy storage community. Her collaborative work spans multiple institutions, with frequent co-authorship with Elena Palomo del Barrio and other researchers at CIC energiGUNE.
