Dr Cristina GiordanoReader in ChemistryEmail: c.giordano@qmul.ac.ukRoom Number: Room 1.02, Joseph Priestley BuildingWebsite: https://www.giordanogroup.orgProfileTeachingResearchSupervisionPerformanceProfileCristina Giordano obtained her PhD in Physical Chemistry at the University of Palermo in 2006. After her PhD she won twice the “assegno di ricerca” in the same University (Department of Inorganic Chemistry and Department of Physical Chemistry) as teaching assistant and post-graduated researcher. Between 2008 and 2014 she led the group of Inorganic Nanostructures at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam (Germany) where she also did her Habilitation. At the end of 2014 she joined the Technical University of Berlin as independent researcher, to intensify her teaching, also receiving the title of “Privatdozent” (July 2015) from the TU-Berlin. Since September 2015 Dr Giordano is Reader in Chemistry at Queen Mary University of London. Dr Giordano is the author of almost 60 publications in the field of colloids and nanomaterial chemistry, ranging from synthesis of advanced materials to characterization and wide ranging applications. For her research, 2011, Dr Giordano was awarded with the “Zsigmondy Stipendium” from the German Colloid Society, as best promising young researcher in the field of Colloids. During her spare time Cristina enjoys Art and Literature, Cooking and Reading. She is also found of Culture heritage and History.
