Overview

Prof. Dr. Olivia Pulci graduated in Physics at the University of Rome "La Sapienza" with honors.  She obtained her PhD from the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” in 1996. After post-doctoral positions at the Friedrich Schiller Universität, Jena, Germany, at the Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France, and at the Max Planck Institute "Fritz Haber", in Berlin, she was a Researcher at Rome Tor Vergata until 2010, when she took up her present post as Associate Professor in Physics. Her research interests include ab-initio calculations of the electronic and optical properties of low-dimensional semiconductor structures (including surfaces, novel 2D systems, nanocrystals), but also of ice, water, and of cellulose for cultural heritage preservation.
