Silvia Bordiga is an Associate Professor in Physical Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry, University of Torino, a position she has held since 2001. She previously served as a Researcher in Physical Chemistry at the same institution from 1995 to 2001. Bordiga also held temporary Full Professor positions at Oslo University during 2012-2014 and 2015-2017. She is a member of the Chemical Sciences section of the Academy of Europe, elected in 2015, and maintains her primary residence in Italy. Professor Bordiga's research focuses on the characterization of physico-chemical properties of nanostructured materials with large surface area, particularly microporous materials, zeolites, and metallorganic frameworks (MOFs). Her work spans applications in heterogeneous catalysis, photo-catalysis, and materials for adsorption, separation and storage of gases. She employs a range of in situ spectroscopies (IR, Raman, XAS, UV-Vis-Nir) combined with molecular modeling to understand structural and functional behaviors of materials. Her most recent challenge involves identifying and monitoring active sites 'in action' through 'in operando' experiments where gases/liquids flow through cells operating at reaction temperatures. Analysis of her publication record reveals a strong focus on metal-organic frameworks, particularly their applications in gas storage and separation. Her work shows consistent progression from fundamental materials characterization to practical applications in carbon dioxide capture, hydrogen storage, and catalytic conversion processes. The interdisciplinary nature of her research is evident in collaborations spanning chemistry, materials science, and environmental engineering. Her scientific recognition includes: h-index of 78 with 348 publications and over 18,500 total citations Director of INSTM Reference Centre at Torino University (2012-present) Board member of the International Acid-Base Catalysis (ABC) group (2012-present) Member of EuroMOF 2015 International Scientific Committee Multiple leadership roles in the Italian Chemical Society Bordiga has established significant international collaborations with both academic institutions (Oslo University, Leuven University, Berkeley University, École Supérieure de Chimie Physique Électronique de Lyon, DTU) and industrial partners (BASF, Saes Getters, ENI, CRF-FIAT, Topsøe, Evonik). Her work has earned numerous invitations as plenary/invited speaker at international conferences and as panel member in international grant committees. She has also contributed as invited author to prestigious journals and thematic books, including the Wiley-VCH book on 'The Chemistry of Metal-Organic Frameworks'.
