Francesca Monti

Francesca Monti is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science, University of Verona (UNIVR), specializing in experimental physics and interdisciplinary applications of spectroscopic techniques. Her research spans biomedical and cultural heritage diagnostics, with a focus on FTIR spectroscopy, Synchrotron Radiation, and X-ray absorption methods (XANES/EXAFS).

• Academic Sector: PHYS-03/A - Experimental Physics of Matter and Applications
• ERC Research Sector: PE4_2 - Spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques

She leads the IRIS Lab (Infra Red for Interdisciplinary Studies) and contributes to the OpDATeCH Lab (Optical Devices for Cultural Heritage) and Quantum Informatics Laboratory (QUILAB). Her work integrates multivariate statistical analysis of spectral data across biotechnology and heritage science.

Francesca is actively involved in academic governance, serving on committees such as the Computer Science Teaching Committee and Collegio Didattico di Scienze della Formazione Primaria, while teaching foundational physics courses for primary education programs and advanced topics like quantum computing.
