Cecilia Chiaracane
Cecilia, originally from Palermo, completed her bachelor degree under the supervision of prof. Resta at the University of Trieste, and later pursued a master degree in Condensed Matter Physics at the same university. She graduated with honours in December 2017, after developing her thesis project at the EPFL in the group of prof. Yazyev. She joined the QuSys team as PhD candidate in September 2018. Her current research is focused on transport properties of quasiperiodic systems and their capability as working mediums in quantum thermal machines.
