What was your original motivation to become a researcher/project manager?
During high school, I realized I had a strong affinity for chemistry, which led me to pursue Chemical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. After completing both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees, I joined Industrie De Nora within the R&D function. While I’m not a traditional researcher, I am deeply committed to bringing an innovative, sustainability‑driven perspective to product development within the company.
What is your (main) research area today?
I specialize in performing LCA studies and providing environmental sustainability insights, supporting both product‑level assessments and broader organizational evaluations.
What is the main focus of your team in REDHy?
Industrie De Nora’s role in the project is to carry out the LCA and TEA studies of REDHy technology, providing partners and stakeholders with a clear overview of its main environmental impacts.
Could you describe your favourite moment/satisfaction when working for the project and – more in general – for your organisation?
I really appreciate the collaboration we established with all partners while working on our tasks. I was especially satisfied when I saw their curiosity grow around LCA topics and results. This spirit of collaboration and the willingness to learn about new fields—such as sustainability—is something I also value deeply in my daily work, particularly when engaging with colleagues from different backgrounds.
How do you expect REDHy results will affect your organisation and the energy storage sector?
I expect that the LCA results of the REDHy technology will provide valuable insights into the environmental impacts of green hydrogen electrolyzers—an emerging field that is still not widely explored in the literature. These findings will also support our colleagues at Industrie De Nora working in the development of green hydrogen technologies.
