Silvia Rubini has been in charge of the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) laboratory since 1999. Her research activity is mainly devoted to the growth and characterization of semiconductor compounds heterostructures, both III-V and II-VI materials, for electronic and optoelectronic applications. In the last years her attention has been focused to the growth and the physics of semiconductor compounds nanowires.
1992 - Ph.D. in Physics at the Lausanne Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Switzerland
1987 - Physics Degree at the University of Pavia, Italy
