Dr Eugenio Sandrucci is a Research Associate in Redox Chemical Processing at Loughborough University.
He obtained his PhD in Chemical Sciences from Sapienza University of Rome in 2025. His doctoral research focused on monitoring the state of health of next-generation lithium batteries within the GreenBat project, combining electrochemical techniques with spectroscopic methods and multivariate data analysis to develop predictive models for battery ageing and degradation.
During his PhD he spent a research period at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, working on lithium-rich cathode materials and ionic-liquid-based electrolytes for lithium-metal batteries. He collaborated also with the Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he worked on the synthesis of thin layer electrodes based on lanthanide oxides.
Alongside his academic research, he collaborated as a Postdoctoral Researcher with the Swatch Group in Basel, Switzerland, where he worked as a battery data scientist applying chemometric and statistical modelling approaches to analyse battery performance and degradation in wearable and medical devices.
Dr Sandrucci holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Industrial Chemistry from Sapienza University of Rome.
Selected projects, collaborations, and institutional affiliations include:
- Belenos Clean Power – Towards Clean Energy Revolution - Industrial collaboration on battery diagnostics, chemometric modelling and electrochemical data analysis for wearable and medical devices.
- Sapienza Università di Roma - Doctoral research in chemical sciences focused on electrochemical monitoring and predictive modelling of lithium battery ageing.
- Chalmers University of Technology - Research collaboration on lithium-metal batteries, LRLO cathode materials and ionic-liquid electrolytes during doctoral research visit
Dr Eugenio Sandrucci's research focuses on electrochemical and redox-driven processes in materials and chemical systems, combining analytical chemistry with data-driven approaches for process monitoring and optimisation.
He is particularly interested in the chemistry of metal surfaces and interfacial reactions in aqueous environments, including the mechanisms of chemical and electrochemical etching of metals and alloys.
Eugenio's work integrates experimental techniques such as electrochemical analysis, spectroscopy and advanced surface characterisation with chemometric and statistical modelling.
A key objective of his research is to develop improved understanding and control of redox processes in industrial and energy-related applications, including materials processing, corrosion phenomena and electrochemical energy systems.
