معرفی
Cinthia Piamonteze is a Senior Scientist at the Laboratory for Condensed Matter within the Center for Photon Science at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland. She is an expert in x-ray absorption spectroscopy applied to correlated magnetic materials and has played a pivotal role in the construction and commissioning of the X-Treme beamline at PSI.
Dr. Piamonteze completed her PhD in physics at the University of Campinas, Brazil, working at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Source (LNLS), followed by postdoctoral research at the Advanced Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. She joined PSI in 2007 where she continues her research as a senior staff scientist.
Her primary research interests include:
- Discovery and investigation of novel magnetic properties at complex oxide interfaces
- Control of magnetism by external stimuli such as electric fields or strain
- Understanding the ground state of van der Waals magnets
- Application of x-ray absorption spectroscopy, x-ray linear dichroism, and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism techniques
Dr. Piamonteze's recent publications (2023-2024) demonstrate a continued focus on two-dimensional electron gases, oxide surface properties, and advanced techniques for x-ray experiments, with significant contributions appearing in high-impact journals like Nature Physics and Nano Letters.
Among her institutional responsibilities, Dr. Piamonteze serves as the PSI delegate for the experiment environment workgroup within LEAPS (League of European Accelerator-based Photon Sources) and has been a member of the PSI research committee (Forschungskommission - FoKo) since 2019, which reviews scientific proposals requiring PSI funding.
