Silvana Botti is a full professor for Physics at the University of Jena.[1] She is an expert in the development of first-principles methods for electronic excitations and methods for theoretical spectroscopy.[2]
Education and professional life
She did her PhD at the University of Pavia in 2002.[3] After her PhD, she was a Marie-Curie Fellow at the University of Paris-Saclay.[4] She was also appointed CNRS Research Scientist there in 2004.[4] In 2008, she moved to University of Lyon where she habilitated in 2010.[4][3] Since 2014, she is a full professor for physics at the University of Jena.[2] Her research group is a member of the European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility.[5]
Research
Her research focuses on theoretical spectroscopy and the development of first-principles methods for electronic excitations based on (time-dependent) density functional theory and many-body perturbation theory.[1][6] She edited the book "First Principles Approaches to Spectroscopic Properties of Complex Materials".[7] She is an associate editor of Npj Computational Materials.[4] Her research on a silicon-based direct bandgap light emitter was announced to be the "Breakthrough of the Year" by Physics World.[8][clarification needed]
