Background
Dr Stefano Mori is a Lecturer in Energy and Materials in the Centre for Energy Engineering specialising in Material Science and Engineer, Physics and Chemistry.
Stefano obtained his PhD at Universit脿 degli studi di Roma "Torvergata", in Material Engineering, working on the development of a self-healing coating for corrosion protection of alloys in water environment.
Currently he has worked on materials' degradation in extreme environments, including gas turbines, solid fuel power plant, recycling plants, concentrated solar power. The interest spans from laboratory experiments (bench scale to demonstrator), to development of empirical model, thermodynamic models and application of causal discovery and machine learning algorithm to the understanding of corrosion.
Stefano is a Fellow of the Higher Education Association, a Member of the Institute of Materials, Mineral and Mining and Deputy Director for the MSc course in Advanced Mechanical Engineering.
Research opportunities
Applications from postgraduates having developed research questions related to materials degradation in extreme environments, specially if linked to transition of energy systems to net zero, novel fuel for net zero are welcome.
If you are in the process of applying for external funding, then you are invited to contact to correspond on your application to complete your research at 绿帽社区 as you develop your research proposal.
Current activities
He is currently supervising 2 PhD students as primary supervisor:
- Development of coatings to protect gas turbine blades materials from degradation.
- Development of Advanced Additive Manufacturing for Blades in High Efficiency and Low Emission Gas Turbines
He is also associate supervisor for other 3 current studies, and he has supervised 2 students through their viva. He has worked with several partners including: Innovate UK, Horizon2020, EPSRC, Siemens Energy, EDF, Engie, Siemens.
