Biography:
Eleonora Ricci joined the University of Edinburgh as a Lecturer in 2023. Previously, she was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow at the National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos”, Athens, Greece. In 2021 she was a postdoctoral researcher and Adjunct Professor of Molecular Simulation Fundamentals at the university of Bologna. She obtained a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Bologna, Italy (2020).
Academic Qualifications:
- PhD in Chemical Engineering, 2020, University of Bologna, Italy.
- Master's Degree in Chemical and Process Engineering, 2016, University of Bologna, Italy.
- Bachelor's Degree in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, 2014, University of Bologna, Italy.
Research Interests:
My research expertise is in computational materials science, with a focus on the creation of multi-scale, multi-method models for the development of innovative materials and processes for environmental applications, including carbon capture, hydrogen management,
biomaterials and membrane separations. I focus in particular on the application of thermodynamic, molecular, and data-driven modelling of polymeric materials, for the study of multicomponent phase equilibria and mass transfer, and in the integration of artificial intelligence methods to develop novel hybrid modelling strategies.
