Biografia
Silvia Picozzi received her MSc in Physics at Univ. L’Aquila, Italy (1994) and her PhD in Materials Science from Univ. Camerino, Italy (1998). She is currently Full Professor at the Deparment of Materials Science of University Milan-Bicocca and an associate member of Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) at the Institute for Superconducting and Innovative materials and Devices (SPIN). She is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (2019, Division of Materials Physics). She coordinated a Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC, 2008-2012) and several national projects. Since 2006, she has led a scientific group and has supervised 25 post-docs throughout her career. She’s coauthor of > 230 publications in peer-reviewed journals. Her activity is centered on High-Performance Computing simulations based on density functional theory for solid-state materials. In particular, her focus is on spin degrees of freedom in both magnetic and non-magnetic systems and on their interplay with other cooperative phenomena, such as ferroelectricity and charge-ordering.
Breakthroughs in Materials Science
Il seminario rientra nell'iniziativa Breakthroughs in Materials Science, organizzata dal Dipartimento di Scienza dei Materiali dell’Università di Milano – Bicocca. Questa iniziativa propone un ciclo di interventi da parte scienziati di fama internazionale, i cui recenti studi hanno promosso e consentito una profonda evoluzione nel campo della Scienza dei Materiali, con grandi ricadute anche a livello tecnologico. Aventi carattere divulgativo, i seminari sono rivolti a docenti, studenti e ad un vasto pubblico interessato a temi scientifici e tecnologici. Oltre alla partecipazione in presenza, sarà reso disponibile il collegamento in streaming.
