Biography:
Dr Maria Chiara Spadaro got her PhD in Physics and Nanosciences at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia at the beginning of 2016, working on NPs created with magnetron-based nanocluster source and characterizing them using TEM-related techniques. Her research experience is focused on the synthesis and study of nanoscale materials, including analysis of chemical and structural properties of nanostructures, surfaces and interfaces.
Her PhD work led to the award in electron microscopy applied to material science in 2016, from the Italian Society of Microscopic Science (SISM).
After postdoctoral appointments at the international center of electron microscopy (CIME) of EPFL, Lausanne, and at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, she moved to the Swansea University joining the Prof. Palmer’s group, to work on the synthesis, with novel techniques, and characterization of binary NPs of interest in catalysis.
Title : Controlled generation of binary nanoparticles for catalysis research
