contact: laura.ricciotti@uniparthenope.it
Personal information Date of birth: 19/03/1984 Place of birth: Napoli (Italy) Nationality: Italian e-mail: laura.ricciotti@uniparthenope.it
Ph.D studies
Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences (01/11/2008-31/10/2011) at the “Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II”, Italy. Area: Macromolecular Chemistry and Catalysis. Date of award: 15/12/2011. Dissertation: “Organic and/or Metallorganic Functional Molecules and their Polymers for applications in Electronics and Photonics”, Tutor: Prof. A. Roviello.
Education
Master Degree in Chemical Science cum laude (26/10/2007) at the “Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II”, Italy. Degree dissertation: “17
-Estradiol as Building Block in the Preparation of New Materials for Organo-electronics”; Supervisor: Dr. A. Pezzella.
Current position
Research Fellow at the Dipartimento di Ingegneria of the “Università degli Studi di Napoli Parthenope”, Italy (Progetto Lototubo – PII Made in Italy – Bando Industria 2015 – Progetto n° MI01_00025 – Decreto Concessione N° 00023MIO) on the topic: “Study of Anti-dirt Polymeric Materials and Hybrids” (Prof. R. Cioffi).
Awards
Winner of the first prize at the “Start Cup Campania 2013” competition with the project for the innovation: “Photostable Cholesteric Films for Reflection and/or Selective Light Transmission for Smart Glass Fabrication”.
Dr. Ricciotti has constantly carried out her scientific activity in very close contact with acknowledged personalities in the Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche of the “Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II” and in the Dipartimento di Ingegneria of the “Università degli Studi di Napoli Parthenope”, Italy. This training has produced a deep knowledge of laboratory techniques in the field of organic synthesis and material chemistry. The acquired competences span from the knowledge of the typical chemicophysical characterization techniques of the materials (spectroscopic, thermal and structural) to analysis more application oriented (electrical and mechanical). Her scientific personality is enriched by a polyhedral totality of interests, which involve the wide area of organic and inorganic chemistry, from investigation of fundamental reaction mechanisms to the development of new strategic molecules, polymers and advanced materials (composites and hybrids) for innovative application fields, e.g. electronics, optoelectronics and sustainable building. This versatility is the fruit of productive synergic co-operations that Dr. Ricciotti has developed over the years with well-established research groups operating in diverse areas of activity. These cooperations have strongly contributed to the strengthening of the personality of Dr. Ricciotti. Today, she combines a dynamic and creative personality with a marked curiosity towards a plenty of cultural ambits. Furthermore, Dr. Ricciotti has a significant management ability, and is particularly suitable for team-work and leadership, attitudes matured also via an intense activity of supervision of students.
