Marzieh Bastanfar

Marzieh holds a BSc in Robotics Engineering and an MSc in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Design, from Hamedan and Zanjan Universities, Iran. She had also worked as an R&D researcher before attending as a Ph.D. student at the University of Brescia's Department of Industrial and Mechanical Engineering. In the field of sodium-ion batteries, her research focuses on multi-physical processes and models.
Manuel Berlato

Manuel graduated in Mechanical Engineering at Universita` degli studi di Brescia. He worked on his MSc Thesis "Use of Machine Learning techniques to study battery systems" under Prof. Alberto Salvadori supervision and in collaboration with Eng. Waad Subber, Researcher at General Electric (NY, USA). He is now a PhD student in the Department of Industrial and Mechanical Engineering, Energy transition and sustainable production systems. The aim of the PhD project is to implement a multiscale strategy in which finer scale analysis are replaced by Machine Learning techniques.
