Eleonora Ricci obtained a BSc (2014) and a MSc (2016) in Chemical Engineering from the University of Bologna, Italy, and earned a PhD in 2020 from the same university, with a dissertation on ‘Thermodynamic and Molecular Simulation of Pure and Mixed Gas Sorption in Polymeric Membranes’. In 2021 she was a postdoctoral researcher and adjunct professor at the university of Bologna. Since November 2021 she is a Marie Curie Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at NCSR Demokritos, in the framework of the ML-MULTIMEM project, a multidisciplinary endeavour that aims at applying artificial intelligence tools in computer simulations of materials for carbon capture. The project is a synergy between the Molecular Thermodynamics and Modelling of Materials Laboratory (Dr. N. Vergadou) of the Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (INN) and the Software and Knowledge Engineering Lab (Dr. V. Karkaletsis, Dr. G. Giannakopoulos) of the Institute of Informatics & Telecommunications (IIT) of NCSR “Demokritos”.
