معرفی
Silvia Holler is a Researcher (RTD-A) at the Department of Cellular, Computational, and Integrative Biology (CIBIO) at the University of Trento. She specializes in biochemistry, biotechnology, and synthetic biology with a focus on enzymology, catalysis, and structural biology. Her work spans experimental and computational studies of protocells, droplet-based systems, and self-organizing soft matter.
Teaching responsibilities include co-teaching the Biochemistry course at CIBIO, where she collaborates with scholars like Giovanni Piccoli and Martin Michael Hanczyc. The course covers foundational topics in biochemistry, enzymology, and molecular structures with practical skills in chromatography and enzymatic kinetics.
Research interests emphasize artificial life systems, droplet engineering, and the physics of biological organization. Key themes include protocell formation, compartmentalized biochemistry, and ethical implications of synthetic biology innovations. Recent work explores self-organized patterns in soft matter, active matter dynamics, and computational modeling of multi-phase systems.
Publications focus on droplet microfluidics, vesicle interactions, and agglomeration phenomena across scales. Collaborative efforts include editorial roles for artificial life conference proceedings and interdisciplinary projects combining biophysics with materials science.
No scientific awards were explicitly mentioned in the provided materials. Her research lab activities are embedded within CIBIO's facilities, focusing on experimental setups for droplet-based synthetic biology and computational simulations of complex systems.
