Dominic Borgialli has been awarded a Joan Oró predoctoral grant (FI 2026) from AGAUR, the Catalan agency for university and research grants. The grant funds up to four years of PhD research.
His thesis, “Electrochemical control of oxide ions for neuromorphic computing”, will use the movement of oxygen ions in oxide materials to build devices that mimic how the brain stores and processes information, with very low energy use.
Dominic started in August 2026 under the supervision of Francesco Chiabrera and Albert Tarancón. He is enrolled in the Materials Science doctoral programme at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). He holds a master’s degree in Industrial Chemistry and a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and Chemical Technologies from the University of Turin, Italy.
