Wednesday, June 11, 2014 (All day) Doctor Giuseppina Padeletti got her Degree in Chemistry cum laude at the University of Perugia in 1984 where remained till 1986 with a research contract. From 1986 to 1988 she was the Person in charge for the R&D Labs Group of ELETTROCARBONIUM S.p.a., (HOECHST Group), working in the field of coal derived materials for the iron and steel industries. During this period she had stages at the University of Ghent, Belgium (on environmental biotechnologies applied at the treatment of industrial waters) and at University of Newcastle upon Tyne, U.K. (on carbon material science). From 1988 she is at the National Research Council of Italy. In 1992-1993 she was visiting scientist at the Laboratoire Central de Recherches, THOMSON-CSF (now THALES), Orsay, France.
Dr. Padeletti acquired her scientific competences in the field of surface and interface chemistry and physics of innovative materials with high technological impact. Her main expertise is in Materials Science, synthesis, growth and characterization of structural and functional properties of semiconductors, oxidic materials, nanostructured films, and nanoparticles in different matrices, for applications in fields such as Health, Sustainable Development and Cultural Heritage.
From 2006 to 2013 she was the Director of the Institute of Nanostructured Materials of CNR. At present, she is CNR Research Director.
She is author of more than 120 papers on scientific international journals and books, more than 160 presentations at international Conference, among them, many as invited speaker. She is Member of the Executive Committee of the European Materials Research Society (EMRS).
