Renato Pelosato had a full marks degree in Chemistry at the Pavia University in 1999 and a Ph.D. degree in Materials Engineering at the Polytechnic of Milan in 2006 with a thesis on “microstructural and electrical characterization of advanced ceramic materials for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells”. He worked at University of Brescia from 2000 to 2004, where he studied the chemistry and microstructure of cement pastes and trained with X-Ray Diffraction techniques. Since 2002 he also studies the properties of electrically conducting ceramic oxides for application in solid oxide fuel cells. He was guest researcher at the French CNRS (Grenoble) in 2001 and at the Chemistry Department of the University of OSLO (Norway) in 2005. From 2005 to 2008 he had a research fellowship with the University of Bergamo where he continued his work on synthesis and characterization of ceramic materials for application in energy generation devices. From 2009 to 2017 he worked at the Polytechnic of Milan, focusing on SOFC cathode materials and sustainable building materials. Since October 2018 he is research fellow (Ricercatore RTD-A) at the university of Bergamo, and his research topics have now developed to include photocatalysis in the visible light and photo-sensing materials. He has more than 60 papers published in peer-reviewed journals indexed in Scopus.
