Ph.D. student in “Energy Science and Engineering”, at the University of Naples “Parthenope” (III year).
She received a Master Degree in Civil Engineering from the same University, in 2013 she completed a Master in “Materials Science and Engineering” at the University of Sheffield (UK) defending a thesis titled “Plasma treatments of polymers for increased adhesion in composite materials”. In 2012, she graduated in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Salerno, submitting a final project titled: “Mechanical properties and manufacturing process of innovative sustainable cementitious materials”.
Ilenia’s research interests deal with the development of innovative materials for sustainable constructions.
She has conducted experimental studies to demonstrate the employability of plastic fibres obtained from waste plastic as dispersed reinforcement in cementitious materials. Furthermore, she has also developed new fibre geometries, with the aim of enhancing the thermo-mechanical performance of fibre reinforced concrete and mortars.
Her current research activity focus on the development of new fiber-reinforced geopolymers using conventional raw materials as well as inorganic waste materials.
She is author of several scientific papers published in international peer-reviewed journal and international conferences proceeding.

ENG. ANTONIO JACOPO MOLINO
Attending PhD studies (ranked 1st at scholarship competition) in Energy Science and Engineering (start: 1st november 2015 - expected end: 1st november 2018).
His research activities face several topics in the field of Energy Scinece and Engineering; mostly for: matherials and technology of MFCS for wastewater treatment.
He received a MS degree in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering from Federico II University on the: “Use of Reservoir sediments: case study of Guardialfiera Reservoir”.
Since September 2014 he led a professional experience relating to use of SOLID WORKS applied on scale-up process of microbial fuel cells at Edilgen Company SPA.
Since October 2014, he has a scientific collaboration with Parthenope University for the Manufacture Geopolymers production and relative verifications of resistance and reliability of the product, using reservoir sediments as precursors.
Since January 2015 he also worked, in association with matherials research group, on innovative materials for the realization of Microbial Fuel cell electrodes.
From 24 to 29 May 2015 he has contributed to a scientific Partecipation named "Geopolymers: the route to eliminate waste and emissions in ceramic and cement manufacturing." presented at ECIConference SchlossHerrnstein, Herrnstein, Austria.
Now his research activity is focused on diffrent electrodes matherial and scale-up of microbial fuel cells (MFC) to evaluate their power density variations .
In addition, he also focuses on the study and design of cement mortar made with sludge and lake sediments.
