Francesca Pietracaprina

Dr. Pietracaprina is a Marie Sklodowska Curie individual research fellow at Trinity College Dublin. She has a research background in statistical, quantum and computational physics and experience in technology transfer, specifically in environmental sustainability topics. After her doctoral degree from SISSA in Trieste (IT), she continued her research in quantum and classical disordered systems at top EU institutions - Sapienza University (Rome, IT) and CNRS-LPT Toulouse (FR) - before joining the QuSys group in Dublin. She obtained 300+ k€ in grant funding for her research and technology transfer activities and 2 million+ hours on tier 1 supercomputers. She won awards for public talks, grant writing and tech transfer and delivered 30+ presentations at conferences, of which 10+ were invited.
