Giosue GiacoppoHe was graduated in 2002 in Aerospace Engineering at Politecnico of Turin, where he also obtained his qualification to practice as an Engineer in 2003. Since December 2013, he is a permanent researcher at CNR-ITAE (National Research Council of Italy Institute for Advanced Energy Technologies) where focused his research in the field of power and chemicals generation by electrochemical technologies such as batteries, fuel cells and electrolysers. Particular attention was devoted to the thermal fluid dynamic analysis of flow field distributors in PEM Fuel cells. In fact, uniform distribution of reactants in fuel cells as well as in the electrolysers, is a key point for optimal and durable performance of such devices. Development of specific measurement in experimental cells has allowed to confirm numerical results through experimental data.
Production of hydrogen through assisted photoelectrochemical devices was another topic toward Dr. Giacoppo has focused his interests. Design and modelling of an innovative photoelectrochemical cell for water splitting was part of his most recent research.
Teaching and dissemination activities are another important aspect of his scientific curriculum. He has held seminars on the hydrogen technologies and applied engineering to electrochemical devices at universities, schools and public institutions. Read More Read Less
