rs University (New Jersey, USA) where she collaborated with the Condensed Matter theory group, completing original works on the puzzling phase diagram of coupled spin chains by means of bosonizations and renormalization group methods. In 2007 she was a Marie Curie fellow under the EU’s Sixth Framework Programme-Mobility Action at the Laboratoire de Physique et Modélisation des Milieux Condensés (LPMMC, CNRS) in Grenoble (FR) where she collaborated with Dr. Anna Minguzzi and Prof. Frank Hekking. Here she acquired knowledge in the field of atomic and molecular systems, working on the problem of non-equilibrium dynamics of a Bose gas subjected to a time-dependent perturbation. She has an active synergetic activity (Member of the organizing committees of five international conferences on quantum gases and a national meeting in superconductivity, member of the Doctorate collegium, referee of the APS and IOP Journals, of Nature and of national/EU research projects).

Dr. Ro

Lett. and APL, 43 among Physical Review B and A). She has h-index 18 (from ISI web) and the total number of citations is more than one thousand. She has one book as co-editor published by the American Institute of Physics “Highlights in Condensed Matter Physics” (2003); she is co-editor of a topical issue of the European Physical Journal B entitle “Novel Quantum Phases and Mesoscopic Physics in Quantum Gases”, vol. 68 (2009) and of the volume European Physical Journal ST, vol 217 pags. 1-220 (2013). She has delivered thirty-two invited oral contributions at international conferences. Prizes/awards: Italian Physical Society Award (1998) and Fulbright Award (1999).
