Marco Altomare is an Associate Professor at the University of Twente's Nano-Materials Electrochemical Conversion (N-MEC) group. His research focuses on materials science, specifically photo- and electro-catalysis, aiming to bridge the fields of nanoscale heterogeneous catalysis with the sustainable production of fuels and chemicals. He has a strong background in developing photocatalytic materials that drive chemical reactions powered by solar light, concentrating on earth-abundant semiconductor materials, such as metal oxides. In his previous academic roles, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and has a PhD from the University of Milan, where he investigated metal oxide photo-electrocatalysis. In 2021, he joined the University of Twente with a tenure track grant to advance his research further, exploring the potential of controlled dewetting processes in electrocatalysis and developing model nanostructured metal catalysts for photo-electrochemical applications. His work has led to significant advancements in understanding the structure-performance relationships of nanoscale catalysts and the development of new methodologies for catalysis and energy conversion.
