Claudia Mondelli

Claudia Mondelli is a CNR Scientist at the Institut Laue Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble, France, where she has conducted neutron scattering research since 2002. She leads the INSIDE@ILL platform supporting Italian neutron science and is embedded in ILL's Time-of-Flight/High Resolution instrumentation group.

Her academic credentials include:

• Habilitation as Professor of Physics (L'Aquila University, 2000)
• Ph.D. in Physics (Grenoble University, 2000)
• Laurea in Physics (L'Aquila University, 1991)

Dr. Mondelli's research integrates neutron scattering techniques with computational modeling to investigate quantum phenomena in nanomaterials. Her experimental work focuses on water/hydrogen confinement systems, magnetic oxides, and disordered materials, utilizing advanced diffraction and spectroscopy methods to probe atomic-scale dynamics. She combines instrumental neutron techniques with molecular dynamics and density functional theory simulations.

Her scientific leadership is recognized through appointments to major international committees:

• Oak Ridge National Lab International Scientific Committee (2017-present)
• Two terms on ILL International Scientific Committee (2001-2007, 2012-2016)
• Scientific Committee for IN13 spectrometer (2001-2002)
• Italian Neutron Society leadership roles (2001-present)

With over 80 publications and an h-index of 21, she maintains active collaborations across European neutron facilities. Her INSIDE@ILL platform coordinates Italian access to ILL's instruments and provides specialized training for researchers in neutron methodology.
