Yaroslav Grosu obtained his doctorate in 2015 at the Blaise Pascal University (France) and the National Technical University (Ukraine) under a joint procedure for the awarding of a doctoral degree (cotutelle agreement). After obtaining his doctorate, he gained research experience in various laboratories, including at the UC Davis, the University of Birmingham and the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory. His scientific interests include the broadly understood physical chemistry of solid-liquid interfacial interactions, hierarchical porous materials, nanofluids and corrosion. The scientific projects he conducts are interdisciplinary in nature and are mainly focused on thermomechanical energy storage and energy conversion.<\/p>\n

Yaroslav Grosu, PhD, DSc\u2019s research portfolio includes the FET-Proactive Electro-Intrusion and ERC PoC NODRY projects from the Horizon 2020 programme, the Nano2 Fluid SONATA NCN project as well as several industrial projects. He received a Minister of Education and Science scholarship for outstanding young scientists. He is the author of approximately 100 peer-reviewed scientific articles.<\/p>\n

Yaroslav Grosu\u2019s research resulted in a scientific discovery consisting in demonstrating the existence of an unprecedented negative value of compressibility of hydrophobic elastocapillary systems [1-3] and demonstrating for the first time in the literature the triboelectrification effect in the intrusion-extrusion process [4,5]. Moreover, research conducted by Grosu on the corrosion of high-temperature molten salts led to an outstanding contribution to scientific progress in the form of presenting the graphitisation method as a new anti-corrosion method used in solar power plants and CSP photovoltaic farms [6,7].<\/p>\n
