Short Bio

Prof. Silvia Orlanducci is an associate professor of General and Inorganic Chemistry at the Department of Chemical Sciences and Technologies of the University of Rome Tor Vergata. She graduated in Chemistry from La Sapienza University in 2000 and obtained her PhD in Chemical Sciences in 2004, with a thesis on the synthesis and characterization of carbon-based nanostructured materials.

Her research focuses on the development and characterization of advanced nanomaterials, in particular carbon nanotubes, nanodiamonds, and polymer-nano hybrid materials for applications in the energy, sensor, superconducting, and environmental fields. Her main areas of interest include the controlled synthesis of materials via CVD, chemical functionalization, morphological and structural characterization using advanced techniques (SEM, TEM, spectroscopy), and the exploration of the electrical and electrochemical properties of the materials produced.

Author of over 140 scientific articles, she is involved in national and international projects and also holds patents on materials for hydrogen storage. Her research has contributed to the development of innovative electrodes, materials for biosensors, and high-performance superconducting films. Prof. Orlanducci is also active in training young researchers and promoting materials science at an interdisciplinary level.
