As part of its endeavour to invite some of the most brilliant minds in the areas of education and research, Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) has recently appointed Dr Bruno D’ Aguanno as a visiting professor at the Centre for Nanotechnology Research.
Dr Aguanno will not only deliver lectures but also conduct joint research on nano devices, systems and materials for thermal energy storage by collaborating with members of the centre. The collaboration will enrich scientific and technical cooperation and implementation of joint research activities between VIT and leading European Universities and Research Institutions.
At present, Dr Aguanno is a member of the European Energy Research Alliance on CSP and Energy Storage. He is also a coordinator for many research and industrial projects and principal investigator of three active H2020 research projects. A former scientific director of CIC Energigune, the new energy research centre in Spain to generate knowledge & develop technology through research, Dr Aguanno is also an expert adviser of the Solar Energy Research Centre of the Southeast University at Nanjing, China.
