Vincenzo Esposito

Technical University of Denmark

Plenary Speaker

Vincenzo Esposito is a Professor of Ceramic Science and Engineering Materials in the Department of Energy Conversion and Storage at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), where he leads research on functional oxides and coupled electro-chemo-mechanical phenomena. He received his M.Sc. degree in Materials Science from the University of Padova and completed his Ph.D. through an international doctoral program involving Italian institutions and the University of Florida.

His research spans the synthesis, design, and nanoscale characterization of oxides with coupled polar, ionic, and mechanical degrees of freedom. A particular focus is on ferroelectrics, ferroionics, and non-classical electromechanical responses in thin films and heterostructures, and on how nanoscale architecture and defect engineering enable emergent functional coupling mechanisms. His group integrates advanced materials processing with operando nanoscale probes to address both fundamental questions and device-relevant challenges in electroactive materials.

Vincenzo has published more than 200 peer-reviewed articles, with more than 4,400 citations and an h-index of 37, including work in leading journals, reflecting sustained influence in ferroelectrics, functional oxides, and nanoscale electromechanical materials. He is an IEEE Senior Member, actively engaged in international and interdisciplinary research initiatives, and contributes to graduate education and mentoring in materials science and electroceramics.
