She is a CNR research fellow at the Institute of Photonics and Nanotechnologies of Milan (CNR-IFN) as part of the FUTURAHMA projectand a Ph.D Student at Politecnico University of Milan.
She received her master’s degree on Physics (2011) from Bologna University, defending a dissertation entitled “Micro-photoluminescence analyses on nitride-based nanowires”. She has had several study abroad experiences: (AY 2009/2010) Erasmus student at Paris 7 Univeristy, (May-June 2010) internship at Ecole Polytechnique ParisTech, (March-September 2011) dissertation internship at the Institut of Fundamental Electronics of Paris Sud University, (November- May 2012) Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher in the framework of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network “PROPHET-Postgraduated Research on Photonics as an Enabling Technology”, at the Tyndall National Institute of Cork, Ireland. Her research focuses on the analysis of paintings and painting materials using non-destructive techniques, like Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging and Time-Resolved Luminescence Spectroscopy.
