Soft Matter Emerging Investigator – Nicoletta Gnan

Nicoletta Gnan is a researcher at the Institute for Complex Systems of the Italian National Research Council (CNR). She earned her Masters degree in Physics from the University of Rome “Sapienza” in 2006, then spent three years as PhD fellow at the Roskilde University in Denmark studying the structure and dynamics of a special class of liquids and glasses. Before joining the CNR in 2013, initially as a postdoc and later as a permanent researcher, she received a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Rome “Sapienza” to perform simulations of colloidal particles in critical solvents. Her research interests are the numerical modelling of colloidal particles, the investigation of effective interactions in colloidal dispersions and the study of the collective behaviour of passive and active systems.
