Emiliana Fabbri received her PhD in Materials Science from the University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy on December 2008. Part of her PhD studies were carried out at the University of Florida, Gainesville USA. In 2009 she was appointed as tenured scientist at the International Center for Material Nanoarchitectonics (MANA) at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Japan. Emiliana Fabbri deeply investigated conduction mechanisms in solid state ionic conductors as well as electrochemical reactions related to fuel cells.
Since January 2012, Emiliana Fabbri joined the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland working on materials for electrochemical energy storage and conversion, with emphasis on metal oxides. To gain a fundamental understanding of electrochemical reaction mechanisms and catalytic activity descriptors, she is particularly interested in the catalyst surface chemistry and electronic, local and crystal structure investigated by operando X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and FTIR. Since January 2024 she is co-leading the Electrocatalysis and Interface group at the Electrochemistry Laboratory of PSI.
Emiliana Fabbri is co-author of about 140 publications published in international peer-reviewed journals such as Nature Materials, Nature Chemistry, Chemical Society Review, Advanced Energy Materials, Energy and Environmental Science, JACS and Angewandte Chemie. She hold currently have an H-index of 56 from Scopus, with about 13 k citations.
Emiliana Fabbri obtained in 2023 the title of Private Dozent and she is currently teaching at at the University of Basel (Electrochemistry: Basics and Practice, course Nr. 64133-01, and Analytische Chemie I and III, course Nr. 10854-01 and 10862-01, respectively) and ETHZ (ETH Course Catalogue: 529-0507-00L)
