FORMAZIONE
Si è laureato in Fisica nel Marzo 2004 all’Università di Padova.

ATTIVITA’ LAVORATIVA E CAMPI DI RICERCA
Dal 2005 al 2007 ha collaborato con l’Agenzia Regionale per la Protezione e Prevenzione Ambientale del Veneto (ARPAV) studiando diversi sistemi di sorgenti inquinanti atmosferici attraverso opportuni sistemi GIS (Geographical Information Systems), processori metereologici e modelli di dispersione gaussiani, per valutare impatti e strategie di mitigazione relativi ai principali inquinanti atmosferici (PM10, NOx, C6H6 etc). Nel Febbraio 2007 ha vinto un assegno di ricerca (più tardi rinnovato fino al 2010) presso lo IENI di Padova. Dal Febbraio 2010 è ricercatore a tempo indeterminato allo IENI (oggi ICMATE).
Dal 2007 ad oggi ha partecipato allo IENI / ICMATE a diversi progetti di ricerca, riguardanti lo sviluppo di materiali e componenti per la nuova generazione di celle a combustibile ad ossido solido (SOFC) per applicazione nel campo della co-generazione e allo sviluppo e caratterizzazione di materiali termoelettrici per sistemi di recupero energetico. In particolare ha lavorato sulla Spettroscopia di Impedenza (EIS) per la caratterizzazione di elettrodi ed elettroliti a conduzione ionica o protonica per SOFC, sia come bulk che come film sottili, sui test di cella e sulla progettazione e realizzazione di un sistema sperimentale per la caratterizzazione funzionale di materiali termoelettrici per alte temperature (misura contemporanea di conducibilità elettrica e coefficiente di Seebeck). Di recente si è occupato di sviluppo di moduli termoelettrici per medio-alte temperature e di dispositivi per la caratterizzazione della loro efficienza fino a 600°C.

BIOGRAPHY

Graduated in 2006 at the University of Padua in Materials Engineering with 110/110 cum laude, she obtained a PhD in Metallurgical Engineering in 2010, dealing with metallic nanoparticles and electrochemistry.

She has assisted numerous students and undergraduates in their internship period and has trained in the metallurgical sector thanks to doctoral schools and courses of the Italian Association of Metallurgy (AIM), in which she is today an active member of the Technical Committee of Tribology and Coatings.

After her PhD she worked for a year in the private sector dealing with industrial metrology and computed tomography applied to industrial materials and products.

Subsequently she joined the CNR, first in IENI-CNR as a research fellow, then in ICMATE-CNR, as a fixed-term researcher, and then finally obtained the position of permanent researcher in 2016.

Her current activity is in the materials sector for the energy and biomedical sectors. After having gained consolidated experience in the tribological and tribochemical fields, as well as in the related characterization techniques, you currently deal with tribology, surface mechanical and topological characterization and surface conversion methodologies, such as PVD film deposition and plasma treatments.

In ICMATE she also plays an active role in the field of scientific dissemination and communication, she is part of the Communication Group and is the designer and contact person of the institute website. She is also involved in training as a teacher on courses organized by AIM, co-supervisor of degree theses and tutor for student internships.
