Marco is an Associate Professor of Analytical Chemistry and he leads the group of Spectroscopy, Electrochemistry and Energy (S2E) at the University of Bologna. His research interest covers the field of the structural and electronic characterization of materials and solutions by core level spectroscopies, such as X-Rays Spectroscopies, the applied electrochemistry, sensors, the synthesis and characterization of materials for advanced batteries. He has applied Prussian Blue based materials in potentiometric and amperometric sensors, ion exchange, batteries. He is expert in methodologies for data analysis. He had pioneered the in-situ characterization of energy material by the x-ray absorption synchrotron radiation technique.

Zulkarnaen Paputungan obtained his Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Universitas Indonesia and Master's degree in Advanced Spectroscopy in Chemistry from the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree Program, at Université de Lille in France and Università di Bologna in Italy. His primary research focuses on employing spectroscopy techniques to investigate battery interphases and post-mortem analysis.

Hiba did her Bachelor's degree in Chemistry at the Lebanese American University in Lebanon, with minor in Mathematics and emphasis on Physical chemistry. She is doing her joint Master's degree in Advanced Spectroscopy in Chemistry at the University of Lille and University of Bologna. She is currently doing her master thesis as a part of the S2E research group, studying Berlin Green cathode material in multivalent ion batteries.
