Maria Mechili acquired her Diploma in Chemical Engineering at the National University of Athens (NTUA). During her Diploma Thesis, she focused on Battery Characterisation Methods and Electrocatalysts as Cathode materials for Zinc-Air Batteries. During her Ph.D., under the supervision of Professor Chr. Argirusis, is researching electrocatalysts for electrochemical CO2 conversion into value-added products. Her research interests cover homogeneous and heterogeneous (electro)catalysis, battery testing methods and novel synthesis routes of nanomaterials e.g. electrospinning. She counters 1 book chapter and 1 journal publication.
