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.
