Meriem Goudjil is a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Earth Sciences of the University of Florence, Italy. She received a Ph.D. in the chemistry of condensed matter from the University of Sciences and Technology of Algiers (USTHB), Algeria, in 2020. She gained valuable experience in different chemical preparative routes, such as vapour phase transport, solvothermal synthesis applied for the crystal growth of inorganic compounds, metal complexes, coordination polymers, and oxides, as well as phosphates and arsenate-based materials. Her expertise includes material characterization by means of diffraction methods, microscopic and spectroscopic techniques and electrical measurements. Her current research fields focus on solid-state chemistry, molybdenum and tungsten oxides, mineral-inspired materials (synthetic transition-metal phosphates) for battery storage, X-ray crystallography, and inorganic and hybrid perovskites.
