Achilles Bergne

Thesis title:  Nanostructured electro-chemo-mechanical energy harvesters for the Internet of Things

I am originally from the UK and France, and I did my masters at the University of Bath. I joined DTU Energy as PhD in August 2021 where I will be studying the piezoelectricity of Hafnium Oxide under the supervision of Vincenzo Esposito, Nini Pryds and Dennis Valbjørn Christensen.

The aim of my project is to make an electro-chemo-mechanical harvester that can power Internet of Things devices. I will do so by enhancing the piezoelectricity of Hafnium Oxide, for example through the use of nanostructures.
