FORMAZIONE

Curriculum di fisica della materia seguito da dottorato di ricerca in scienze e tecnologie dei materiali.

ATTIVITA’ LAVORATIVA E CAMPI DI RICERCA

Le principali attività sviluppate nel corso degli studi e negli anni di lavoro in ambito di ricerca sono state nell’ambito del settore energetico. Inizialmente, seguendo lo sviluppo di materiali superconduttori, applicati alla realizzazione di nastri superconduttori per applicazioni nell’ambito del trasporto di potenza, studiando, nello specifico, tecniche per la riduzione di perdite in applicazioni AC; successivamente, spostandosi sullo sviluppo di materiali e tecnologie termoelettriche, in particolare nell’ambito del waste heat recovery.
Gli anni dedicati all’attività di ricerca in ambito superconduttori hanno permesso di maturare competenze in metallurgia fisica, processing dei materiali, sintesi di leghe e composti ceramici, tecniche di sinterizzazione e realizzazione di materiali compositi. Inoltre, ha maturato esperienza in tecniche di caratterizzazione differenti: da proprietà di trasporto (resistività elettrica, conducibilità termica, temperature e correnti critiche) a proprietà magnetiche, da analisi strutturali (XRD) a caratterizzazioni microstrutturali (microscopie).
L’attività di ricerca attuale è focalizzata sul tema termoelettrico: sintesi e processing (sinterizzazioni e processi di trasformazione meccanica) di materiali termoelettrici e caratterizzazione dei parametri termoelettrici fondamentali. Obbiettivo principale della ricerca è la realizzazione di materiali, nanostrutturati o compositi, con caratteristiche migliorate sfruttando tecniche e processi mutuati dalla metallurgia: i risultati principali ottenuti sono derivati dallo sviluppo di tecniche originali capaci di realizzare materiali ottimizzati su scale differenti.

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.
