RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

The areas of activity in which Dr. Di Blasi’s training was carried out are basically divided into two phases: 1) energy processes in gas-solid and liquid-solid catalysis; 2) prototype development of technological devices in the chemical and electrochemical fields. These activities allowed Dr. Di Blasi to acquire and integrate knowledge referable to the fields of energy efficiency, sustainable development, and production of advanced materials and fuels. Responsible for two large experimental devices (XRD; XRF).
