Relevant Experience

Engy has a significant experience in Material Science and Smart Materials and a particular interest in Graphene and Carbon-based Materials. In addition, she has good experience in renewable energy, particularly in Supercapacitors, fuel cells and Batteries. Her interest in supercapacitors indirectly led to an interest in the field of electric vehicles and, subsequently, to research activity in energy storage. She worked as a researcher within several EPSRC projects, such as TransEnergy – Road 2 Rail Energy Exchange (R2REE) and UK-India Clean Energy Centre (JUICE) (EP/P003605/1). In 09/2021, she participated as a postdoctoral researcher in the Zero carbon shipping project, cooperating with Ocean Infinity, Aqua Ocean, and Shell international trading and shipping company limited. Currently, she is a postdoctoral researcher in the SALIENT project and is leading WP2.
