ABOUT/BIOGRAPHY
Filippo Peru was born in Sassari (Italy) in 1989, he graduated in Chemistry (Bachelor 2011) in the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy of the University of Sassari and in Chemical Sciences (Master 2014) in the same university. In the relative theses he worked on mesoporous materials applied respectively to the nanoconfinement of borohydrides and to heterogeneous catalysis for OOR in fuel cells electrodes. In the 2014 he moved to Athens (Greece) to work in the Hydrogen Lab, INN of NCSR “Demokritos” under the supervision of Dr. Theodore Steriotis as PhD candidate at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens participating at the project ECOSTORE, a Marie Curie Action. During this period of time, he worked on the development of novel complex metal hydrides/amides nanocomposites for hydrogen storage applications. In the framework of the ECOSTORE project he worked as a guest in partner laboratories in Germany, Denmark and UK. In the 2017 he moved to Nicosia (Cyprus) to work at Hystore Tech Ltd in the framework of the Marie Curie Project ATLAS-MHC under the supervision of f Prof. George Karagiorgis and Prof. Christodoulos Christodoulou. In Cyprus he worked in up-scaling a prototype metal-hydride compressor (MHC) for hydrogen compression to pressure higher than 300 bar. Since the 2019 he works again in the NCSR “Demokritos” in the framework of the European project ENDURUNS, for the development and demonstration of a long-endurance sea surveying autonomous unmanned vehicle with gliding capability powered by hydrogen fuel cells. In particularly he is involved in the design building and testing of the energy storage system of the vehicles.
