Maria joined the group as a PDRA in May 2018 for one year project on Redox Flow Batteries (project supported by CAM-IES). Maria’s expertise in nanostructured carbon materials and composites for various applications led her interest into electrochemical systems for energy storage, particularly in advanced carbon-based materials for enhanced performance electrodes. A publication in Carbon came out of this project, plus another one in preparation. Maria is currently a PDRA in Prof. Magda Titirici’s group at Imperial College London.
