Biography: 

Eleonora Ricci joined the University of Edinburgh as a Lecturer in 2023. Previously, she was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow at the National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos”, Athens, Greece. In 2021 she was a postdoctoral researcher and Adjunct Professor of Molecular Simulation Fundamentals at the university of Bologna. She obtained a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Bologna, Italy (2020).

Academic Qualifications: 

  • PhD in Chemical Engineering, 2020, University of Bologna, Italy.
  • Master's Degree in Chemical and Process Engineering, 2016, University of Bologna, Italy.
  • Bachelor's Degree in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, 2014, University of Bologna, Italy.

Research Interests: 

My research interests include the thermodynamic, molecular, and data-driven modelling of polymeric materials, for the study of multicomponent phase equilibria and mass transfer in polymeric membranes for gas separations in energy and environmental applications. Moreover, I am interested in the application of artificial intelligence methods to develop novel multiscale modelling strategies.
