Claudio Gerbaldi

Claudio Gerbaldi, PhD in Material Science and Technology, is Full Professor of Chemistry for Applied Technologies at the Politecnico di Torino. He is the leader of the Group for Applied Materials and Electrochemistry (GAME-Lab) at the Department of Applied Science and Technology, having strong collaboration with academy/research centers worldwide and effective connections with industry and EU (H2020 and HORIZON EUROPE projects and Marie Curie European Training Network activities). He has a > 20-years’ experience on innovative technologies for electrochemical energy storage devices (mainly, Li-based and post Li-ion secondary batteries, supercapacitors) with a specific focus on the development of advanced solid-state electrolytes by green, solvent-free procedures, as well as nanostructured electrode materials, their assembly in lab-scale cells and thorough electrochemical characterization. He is Author/co-Author of ~200 scientific research articles, h-index 70, > 150 conference communications (>30 invited/keynote) and 5 international patents. He is past Chair of the INSTM National Reference Center for Electrochemical Energy Storage (GISEL) and member of the governing board of the Electrochemistry Division of the Italian Chemical Society. Among others, he has received the Piontelli Award for outstanding results in Electrochemistry from the President of the Italian Republic (2015) and the ‘‘UniCredit Award’’ for the Young Innovation in Research (2007).
