About Mauricio
Dr Mauricio Di Lorenzo serves as a Research Fellow in the School of Electrical Engineering, Computing and Mathematical Sciences, Faculty of Science and Engineering, at Curtin University. He is an integral member of the Hydrogen Storage Research Group and holds the position of Foundation Fellow at the Future Energy Exports CRC (FEnEx CRC). Possessing more than two decades of professional experience in research and development within the oil and gas sector, Dr Di Lorenzo is proficient in conducting laboratory and field tests for equipment and processes pertaining to flow assurance, production chemistry, gas processing, and hydrogen applications. His educational qualifications comprise a Bachelor of Physics from Universidad Simón Bolívar, Venezuela, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Western Australia in 2017. Prior to his current role, he worked as Principal Research Engineer at CSIRO Energy in Perth.
Dr Di Lorenzo's scholarly pursuits focus on energy, renewable energy, oil and gas, thermodynamics, and materials science. His contributions have advanced knowledge in hydrogen technologies, notably through investigations into methane pyrolysis for carbon-neutral hydrogen production, underground hydrogen storage integrity, and zero-emission transport solutions. Notable publications authored or co-authored by him include: "Gas-Phase Origin of Microwave Methane Pyrolysis Carbon Films" (Carbon, 2025); "Role of π-Radical Localization on Thermally Stable Cross-Links Between Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons" (Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2023); "Techno-economic and environmental assessment of LNG export for hydrogen production" (2022); "The development of an airborne, stand-off detection instrument for hydrogen gas" (book chapter, 2025); "Hydrate Deposition on Cold Pipe Walls in Water-in-Oil Emulsion Flow" (Energy & Fuels, 2017); and "Projected Cost Competitiveness of Zero-Emission Trucks in Western Australia" (2024). With around 60 citations on ResearchGate and active supervision of PhD theses, such as on carbon formation in methane pyrolysis, Dr Di Lorenzo significantly impacts the transition from fossil fuels to sustainable energy systems.
