Education
Casiraghi's undergraduate studies took place at the Politecnico di Milano in Italy, where she obtained a BSc and an MSc in Nuclear Engineering.[3] She completed her PhD in electrical engineering at the University of Cambridge in 2006.[5]
Research and career
After her PhD, she completed postdoctoral positions both at Cambridge and at the Free University of Berlin, Germany.[6] In 2008 Casiraghi was awarded the Sofja Kovalevskaya Award, a €1.65 million grant awarded to the highest quality junior researchers from outside Germany, for work concerning formation of graphene and carbon nanotubes.[7][8] She moved to the University of Manchester in 2010, and was appointed Professor in Nanoscience in 2016,[3] the same year that she was awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize.[9] She uses Raman spectroscopy to study two-dimensional materials; which include graphene[10] and chalcogenides.[11] She has focussed on ink-jet printed two-dimensional materials as well as nanotubes[12] for sensors, photodetectors and solar cells.[13][14]
Casiraghi was awarded a European Research Council (ERC) consolidator grant to study the Nucleation of Organic Crystals on 2D Templates.[15] She has also demonstrated diamond-like carbon can be to increase storage density of data storage.[16]
Outside of academia, Casiraghi has contributed to popular science segments for BBC Radio 4 and The Guardian.[17][18]
Honours and awards
Her awards and honours include:[19]
- Philip Leverhulme Prize, 2016
- Eli and Harari £50K Graphene Enterprise Award, 2015
