Nico Zamperlin obtained his BSc degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Trento (Italy) in 2016, and in 2019, he obtained his Master of Science in Materials and Production Engineering from the same institution with a research thesis on silk fibroin–alginate scaffolds for intervertebral disk regeneration produced by high-pressure CO2 method.

In 2019, he started his PhD degree in Materials, Mechatronics, and Systems Engineering from the University of Trento, Department of Industrial Engineering, under the supervision of Prof. Sandra Dirè, Prof. Alessandro Pegoretti, and Prof. Marco Fontana. His research project focused on the effect of the surface modification of ceramic nanoparticles with organosilanes on the electric and dielectric performance of polymer-ceramic nanocomposites for energy harvesting applications. During his PhD he also spent 4 months as a visiting PhD at the Grenoble Electrical Engineering Laboratory (G2Elab), Universitè Grenoble Alpes (UGA), to carry out the electric and dielectric characterization of the material. He successfully defended his thesis on the of 20^th July 2023.

In the autumn of 2023, he joined CIC energiGUNE as a researcher in the Electrochemical Energy Storage Area.
