معرفی
Valentina Venuti is a Full Professor of Physics at the University of Messina, specializing in Physics for Life Sciences, Environment, and Cultural Heritage. She holds a PhD in Physics and has held academic roles since 2011, progressing from Research Associate to Full Professor by 2019. Her research integrates spectroscopic techniques (e.g., XRF, Raman, neutron spectroscopy) with computational methods to study biophysical systems, environmental contaminants, medical physics, and archaeological diagnostics. She leads the SAMOTHRACE research group and serves as Director of the Medical Physics specialization program. With an H-index of 33 and over 4,000 citations, her work addresses global challenges like radiation safety, nanoparticle pollution, and cultural heritage preservation. Notable activities include organizing public engagement initiatives such as school outreach programs and collaborative projects with institutions like the University of Malta.
- Education: BSc (1997), PhD (2001), both in Physics from University of Messina.
- Research Focus: Host/guest systems for pharmaceuticals, environmental radiological risk, and archaeometric diagnostics.
- Techniques: Light/neutron spectroscopy, molecular dynamics, 2DCOS analysis.
Her publications (232+ papers) span archaeometry, biomedical applications, and environmental physics. She actively contributes to academic governance, including roles in university committees and international agreements.
