About


Michele Ferri received his PhD in Industrial Chemistry from the Università degli Studi di Milano (UniMi) in 2021, with a multidisciplinary thesis encompassing inorganic materials synthesis and characterization (Gervasini's group, UniMi), applied electrochemistry (Trasatti's group, UniMi), and electrocatalysis (Atanassov's group, University of California, Irvine – UCI).
Since 2021, he has been a postdoctoral researcher at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Liberato Manna’s group, where he coordinates the research activities of the electrocatalysis sub-group. In October 2024, he co-founded Antares Electrolysis S.r.l., an IIT-affiliated start up of which he is currently the Chief Scientific Officer (CSO).
His main research interests include electrochemical water splitting and the electrochemical conversion of carbon- and nitrogen-based molecules under industrially relevant conditions.
