Marina Pivetta

Marina Pivetta is a Lecturer and Scientific Collaborator at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), affiliated with the School of Basic Sciences (SB), the Institute of Physics (IPHYS), and the Laboratory of Nanostructures (LNS). She holds dual roles: as a Scientific Collaborator in the Surface Nanostructures Laboratory and as a Lecturer in the Physics Teaching Section (SPH-ENS). Additionally, she serves on the Physics Doctoral Program Committee, contributing to academic governance at the doctoral level.

Her educational background includes a doctorate in Physics, though specific degrees and institutions are not detailed in the provided text.

Dr. Pivetta's research and teaching focus on advanced topics in condensed matter and nanoscale physics. She teaches Solid State Physics, covering crystal structures, lattice vibrations, electronic properties, and magnetic behavior; Frontiers in Nanosciences, which explores quantum tunneling, size effects, quantum transport, and nanomagnetism; and Spintronics: Basics and Applications, which delves into magnetic bit manipulation and the interplay between classical and quantum systems. These courses reflect her expertise in materials physics and quantum phenomena at the nanoscale.

While no recent publications are listed in the source material, her teaching and laboratory affiliation suggest a strong engagement with experimental and theoretical nanoscience, particularly in spin-dependent transport and surface nanostructures.

She has supervised multiple doctoral theses at EPFL, indicating an active role in graduate education. Her service on the Physics Doctoral Program Committee further underscores her commitment to academic leadership and doctoral training.

Dr. Pivetta is involved in teaching and research activities within structured laboratories and academic committees at EPFL, including the Surface Nanostructures Laboratory and the Physics Teaching Section, where she contributes to curriculum development and student mentorship.
