Name: Dr Elena Uteva
Field: Engineering & Technology
Specialisms:
- Theoretical and computational chemistry
- Machine learning
- Carbon capture and hydrogen storage
Research and qualifications:
- BSc in chemistry from the University of Nottingham
- PhD in chemistry from the University of Nottingham
Returning to her research after a 5-year break, Elena’s Fellowship is entitled: “Atomistic modelling of metal hydrides using machine learning.” Elena’s research uses machine modelling to explore the chemical options that would allow for hydrogen storage and release, with the goal of making hydrogen an alternative to fossil fuels.
