Gloria Tabacchi holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences from Milan University (2000). She is an Associate Professor of Physical Chemistry at the Department of Science and High Technology of the Insubria University in Como, Italy. She was/is locally responsible for national projects and a tutor for several BSc/MSc/PhD students. She is President of the Students-Professors Joint Commission of the Department of Science and High Technology of the Insubria University (DiSAT) and a member of the Ph.D. School in Chemistry and Environmental Science of Insubria University. From 2006 to 2009, she was a member of the DiSAT Department Board. Since 2018, she has been a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal “Solar Energy” (Elsevier). G. Tabacchi’s group has developed internationally recognized expertise in the quantum mechanical simulation, at both ambient and high temperature/pressure conditions, of complex chemical systems and processes (e.g., hybrid nanoporous systems, host-guest materials, metal-oxide nanosystems, transition metal precursors for vapor deposition), whose molecular-level understanding is crucial for improving applications ranging from photonics to catalysis to solar energy harvesting.
