Francesco Chiabrera holds an MSc in energy and nuclear engineering from the Polytechnic of Turin and a PhD in nanoscience from the University of Barcelona. He carried out his PhD research at the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC) in interface-dominated oxide thin films for energy storage and conversion. He then worked as a postdoc in the Functional Oxides group at the Technical University of Denmark, where he studied emerging functionalities in freestanding oxide thin films for energy and information technology. He is currently working as a research scientist at IREC within the ERC-PoC project TRANSIONICS, which aims to deliver highly stable and non-volatile solid-state synaptic transistors integrated on silicon.
