The PoliTo team is led by Prof. Teresa Gatti, PI of the PINPOINT project. Prof. Gatti is a female under-40 associate Professor at PoliTo since October 2022, where she has moved following a direct call from the Department of Applied Science and Technology (DISAT) after being awarded an HEU ERC Starting Grant. She was previously a Research Group Leader at the Center for Materials Research of the Justus Liebig University in Giessen, Germany, where she still maintains an affiliation as external member and continues the scientific mentoring and supervision of 5 PhD students and one postdoc, hired on funding that she has secured over 3.5 years of research activities there (for a total of circa 1.3 M€). Prof. Gatti is a member of the “Electrochemistry Group” at DISAT, together with Prof. Federico Bella, Prof. Silvia Bodoardo and Prof. Carlotta Francia. The group is broadly interested in studying and developing new sustainable energy devices, from solar cells to (photo)electrochemical systems and batteries/supercaps. At the moment, the group is involved in 5 H2020 projects, one HEU and 2 ERC StG, being one of these last ones granted to Prof. Gatti and dealing with the study of Janus layered materials to be employed for PV and photocatalytic purposes (1.5 M€, started Nov. ´22). Prof. Gatti has been working on lead-free perovskites and PIMs for more than 3 years, through the cooperation with many scientists worldwide active in the field (for example: Prof. Robert Hoye, Uni. Oxford; Prof. Vincenzo Pecunia, Simon Fraser Uni.; Prof. Zhubing He, Southern China Uni. of Sci. and Tech.; Dr. Daniele Meggiolaro, CNR Sci-Tech). She is thus highly active in the field and devoted to its growth, through the exploration of novel experimental directions.
