Between 2003 and 2006 she worked in the area of chemical sensors development at the Chemical Sensors Group of Rome Tor Vergata University. ES was involved in the study, characterization and optimization of chemical sensors based on mass transduction having metalloporphyrin as chemically interactive material. She focus her attention on the effect of the thickness of chemically reactive materials on the sensor response and studied the influence of different deposition techniques of chemically interactive materials on sensor performances. In particular ES tested and improved the sublimation of metalloporphyrins for chemical sensors applications.
From 2006 to 2012 ES worked in the area of polymer membranes for PEM fuel cells at the Department of Chemical Sciences and Technology. Her research work, developed during the European project LoLiPEM, was concerned with the development of proton conducting membranes based on sulfonated aromatic polymers (S-PEEK, S-PPSU, S-PES). She explored several strategies for the synthesis of ionomers such as the preparation of organic-inorganic hybrid materials and the formation of cross-linked polymers by solvothermal procedures.
From 2017 to 2020 she was adjunct professor of “Stoichiometry and Electrochemistry complements” at the Engineering Faculty.
ES is currently working at Department of Industrial Engineering of Rome Tor Vergata University under the European project CREATE. Her current research is focused on the synthesis and characterization of new anionic and amphoteric membranes based on aromatic polymers for energy applications. She is investigating innovative procedures for the development of new membrane with increased performances.
ES is a member of the International Laboratory: Ionomer Materials for Energy and co-tutor of a PhD student and guest editor of the journal Polymers (MDPI).
She is author of more than 25 papers on international journal, 1 Book Chapter, 1 Patent, and more than 20 scientific communications in international congress.
