Chairladies of the Conference

Dr. Isotta Cerri worked as scientific re sear ­cher on cata lytic processes at Poli tec nico di Torino after receiving a PhD in Chemical Engi­neering on catalytic combustions. She has been

actively working in the field of fuel cell technologies for Toyota as from 2004 in the advanced technology department where currently she is lea­ding the fuel cell, battery and robotics teams. In the area of fuel cells she has been developing innovative electrode membrane assemblies based on newly developed material, structures and manufacturing processes. For Toyota she has been involved in several bilateral cooperations in order to develop improved materials and production processes of the different com­ponents of the automotive fuel cell stack and high pressure hydrogen tanks to enable the commercialization of reliable and affordable fuel cell vehicles. She is the author of several publications and patents.
