Biography:
Laura Mais is master graduate in Chemical Engineering in 2011 and PhD in Industrial Engineering in 2015; she got the assistant professor position in the field of “Chemical Plant design”. The research activities are focused on the field of electrochemical engineering applied to the study of processes for environmental remediation and energy conversion. Main topics have been electrochemical synthesis and characterization of semiconductor nanostructured materials (anodization for synthesis of TiO2 nanotubes), electrochemical characterization of the deposition process of refractory metals. In particular, the study covers key aspects such as catalytic activity of electrode materials, identification of reaction mechanisms, and surface/solid interactions.
Title : Catalysis of ORR in nano-structured Mn oxides based-electrodes for microbial fuel cells
