Who I am
I am Eliana Gaudino, a researcher at the University of Naples Federico II. I graduated in Mechanical Engineering for Energy and Environment in 2020 and completed my PhD with the Efesto group, focusing on renewable energy, specifically thermal solar panels in collaboration with TVP Solar.
I have always been passionate about environmental sustainability in all its aspects, and I am proud to contribute to this field through research and study aimed at environmental protection. My scientific interests lie in optimizing and developing technologies for solar energy conversion.
