Alessandro Mariani
Dr. Alessandro Mariani is an Assistant Professor at Politecnico di Milano, with a research focus that bridges physical chemistry, electrochemistry, and materials science. His expertise lies in the investigation of complex fluids and electrolytes—particularly ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, and concentrated aqueous systems—through a synergistic use of experimental and computational techniques. His work combines advanced structural characterization methods (including SAXS, WAXS, NMR, and vibrational spectroscopy) with classical and ab initio molecular dynamics, enabling a multiscale understanding of structure–property relationships in energy materials. Dr. Mariani has held research positions across major European institutions, including the Helmholtz Institute Ulm (HIU), Elettra Synchrotron (Trieste), the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF, Grenoble), and Elettra Sincrotone Trieste. He has contributed to over 50 peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals with an h-index of 27. His recent work has explored nanostructured electrolytes for lithium and zinc-based batteries, proton-conductive ionic liquids, and low-viscosity, fluorine-free systems for sustainable electrochemical technologies. His scientific profile is marked by a strong integration of theory and experiment, and a continuous commitment to developing next-generation electrolytes for green energy storage.
