Cinzia Casiraghi is a Professor of Nanoscience in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Manchester and National Graphene Institute in the UK. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Casiraghi's undergraduate studies took place at the Politecnico di Milano in Italy, where she obtained a BSc and an MSc in Nuclear Engineering. [3] She completed her PhD in electrical engineering at the University of Cambridge in 2006. [5]
After her PhD, she completed postdoctoral positions both at Cambridge and at the Free University of Berlin, Germany. [6] In 2008 Casiraghi was awarded the Sofja Kovalevskaya Award, a €1.65 million grant awarded to the highest quality junior researchers from outside Germany, for work concerning formation of graphene and carbon nanotubes. [7] [8] She moved to the University of Manchester in 2010, and was appointed Professor in Nanoscience in 2016, [3] the same year that she was awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize. [9] She uses Raman spectroscopy to study two-dimensional materials; which include graphene [10] and chalcogenides. [11] She has focussed on ink-jet printed two-dimensional materials as well as nanotubes [12] for sensors, photodetectors and solar cells. [13] [14]
Casiraghi was awarded a European Research Council (ERC) consolidator grant to study the Nucleation of Organic Crystals on 2D Templates. [15] She has also demonstrated diamond-like carbon can be to increase storage density of data storage. [16]
Outside of academia, Casiraghi has contributed to popular science segments for BBC Radio 4 and The Guardian. [17] [18]
Her awards and honours include: [19]
