We are pleased to introduce a new series of interviews with the partners of the Matisse Project. This series will provide an inside look at the researchers and professionals involved in the project, offering insights into their work and the project’s goals.
Join us as we learn more about the people contributing to the Matisse Project and hear their perspectives on the important work they are doing.
What is your role in the project?
Research, development and demonstration
What research are you conducting at your Institution and how is it applied in the MATISSE project?
Sensichips develops the sensors to monitor the battery state and structural integrity, In MATISSE this contributes in making the battery and the structure smart.
How do you collaborate with other partners in the MATISSE project to achieve your goals?
We mostly collaborate with AIT for the integration of our sensors inside the structural battery, resulting in a smart battery
How is your institution benefiting from participating in the MATISSE project?
Sensichips will improve its technology for integration inside batteries and will make it compliant with the strict aeronautics safety requirements.
How do you envision the results of MATISSE contributing to a more sustainable world?
If a battery can be made structural and safe to operate inside an airplane it will enable electrically propelled airplanes, this is in direct contribution
Looking to the future, what impact do you think the MATISSE project will have on the industry and society as a whole?
Electrical airplanes can significantly reduce carbon footprint, a leadership in such technology will help Europe leadership in global green technologies
What do you like to do outside of work? Favourite hobbies or pastimes?
Spend time with family at the sea and at the sagra’s, country feasts
