Federico
Rossi is a full Professor of Applied Physics at the University of Perugia. He
graduated in Electronic Engineering and undertook his Ph.D. at L’Aquila
University on “Thermophysical properties of materials”. His research interests
include applied acoustics, focusing on aspects related to infrastructures
impact, noise active control and environmental protection, applied
thermodynamics and properties of materials, focusing on evaporative properties
of fluids, heat transmission, in particular related to solar radiation, its
interaction with earth’s environment and global warming, heat transmission in
energy production systems, renewable energy systems, gas storage, separation
and transport, focusing on hydrate-based technologies, energy storage systems,
focusing on methods for increasing storage efficiency, also through the use of
phase change materials, biofuel production from biomass, hydrogen production
from renewable energy sources, focusing on the implementation of innovative
processes (sonolysis, fotocatalysis), fuel cells, focusing on the development
of small-size MCFC fuel cells, the study of thermodynamic aspects and its
integration with other energy systems such as absorption chillers and CHP
systems. He has been the coordinator of several national and international
research projects and the assessor in charge of national project evaluation. He
has given numerous invited talks and is a consultant to companies involved in
energy technologies.
