VG is a member of the faculty board of first level degree in Biological Sciences, associated researcher at Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati of INFN and team member (Project Manager of MSCA LEAF project) of Frascati Scienza Association.

Research activity largely dedicated to the study, synthesis and characterization of carbon-based materials, particularly micro – and nanomaterials as nanotubes, nanodiamonds, mixed systems (conjugated polymers and carbon nanomaterials, metallic nanoparticles and C nanostructures). The preparation methodologies investigated include CVD techniques, chemical synthesis, electrochemical synthesis, followed by morphological, functional and structural characterizations with a focus on the use of X-rays based techniques (XRD, XRF coupled with polycapillary optics), extended also to the study of ancient pigments and substrates for Cultural Heritage applications.

Additional competencies and experience were collected on the preparation of national and international (research project) proposals, during the period spent as Innovation Manager at a high-tech incubator, as well as on the administrative management of national/regional and EU-funded projects.
