Roberta Zambrini

Roberta Zambrini is a Research Professor at the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems (IFISC), a joint institute of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB). She obtained her PhD in Physics from UIB in 2003, following a degree from the University of Milan. Her research focuses on quantum complex systems, including quantum networks, quantum synchronization, open quantum systems, and quantum machine learning. She teaches master's courses in Physics of Complex Systems and advises multiple PhD and Master's students.

Her research spans quantum computing, quantum optics, and machine learning, with recent work emphasizing quantum reservoir computing, dissipative quantum systems, and quantum neural networks. Publications show a consistent focus on leveraging quantum phenomena for computational advantages and exploring non-equilibrium dynamics in quantum systems.

Awards and Honors:

• Ramon y Cajal Fellowship
• Maria de Maeztu Unit of Excellence Award (2018–2022)

Grants and Projects: She leads multiple projects, including QuaResC (quantum machine learning), QuProCS (quantum probes for complex systems), and initiatives funded by AEI, MINECO, and the EU. She also coordinates gender equity activities at IFISC.

Editorial and Service: Serves as Divisional Associate Editor for Physical Review Letters and on boards for Proceedings A and Journal of Physics Communications. She is also a 'Gestora' at the Spanish Research Agency (AEI).
