Silvia Pisano
- Position: Researcher
- Nuclear Physics
Silvia Pisano graduated in Physics at the “Sapienza” University of Rome, where she obtained the title of PhD with a thesis in the field of hadronic physics. She worked as a postdoc in Austria, Brazil and France. In 2011, she returned to Italy and started to work at the Frascati National Laboratories (LNF). Since December 2019, she has coordinated the nuclear physics group. In 2018, she became a researcher at the “Enrico Fermi” Historical Museum of Physics and the Center for Studies and Research. She participated in the CLAS Collaboration at the Jefferson Lab (Newport News, VA, USA) from 2008 to 2016, while in 2017, she joined the ALICE experiment at CERN. Her research activity focuses on the study of fundamental interactions, and in particular on the mechanisms through which strong interactions influence the structure of hadrons.
