Cinzia Di Giorgio

Dr. Cinzia Di Giorgio is a Staff Researcher at the Istituto Officina dei Materiali (IOM) division of Italy's National Research Council (CNR) in Trieste, where she has held a permanent position since December 2022. She specializes in nanoscale characterization of quantum materials using advanced scanning probe microscopy techniques.

Research Focus

Her research investigates fundamental properties of quantum materials systems including:

• Electronic and mechano-elastic behavior of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs)
• Magnetic template effects on type-II superconductors
• Nanostructured metal oxide semiconductors with ferromagnetic dopants
• Electric field control in strained heterostructures

She employs specialized techniques like magnetic force microscopy (MFM), scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S), and radiofrequency electrostatic force microscopy.

Career Trajectory

• PhD in Physics (2016) from University of Salerno and Temple University (USA)
• Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Salerno's SPnM Laboratory (2016-2019)
• PON-AIM Research Fellow at University of Salerno with residency at Université Paris-Saclay (2019-2022)
• Permanent researcher at CNR-IOM (2022-present)

Laboratory Affiliation

She conducts experiments at the STRAS Laboratory - a scanning tunneling microscopy facility dedicated to nanoscale surface property analysis during dynamic processes.
