Dr. Silvia Borsacchi

Silvia Borsacchi is a researcher at the Institute for the Chemistry of OrganoMetallic Compounds of the National Research Council of Italy (ICCOM-CNR) in Pisa. Her research activity is focused on the investigation of the structural and dynamic properties of materials (inorganic, organic and hybrid) for applications in sustainability, technology and pharmaceutics by means of Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy. She graduated in Chemistry in 2003 at the University of Pisa, where she also obtained her PhD in Chemical Sciences in 2007. From 2007 to 2014 she was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Pisa and at the National Interuniversity Consortium of Materials Science and Technology (INSTM). From 2014 to 2016 she worked as researcher at ICCOM-CNR as research unit coordinator of a Futuro in Ricerca 2013 project (MIUR) for the development and characterization of innovative eco-sustainable cements, funded by MIUR. In 2017 she got the National Academic Qualification as Associate Professor in Physical Chemistry. She has worked in many different research projects, funded by public institutions (EU, MIUR, Regione Toscana, CNR), private foundations (Fondazione Pisa) and industries (Solvay Specialty Polymers, GlaxoSmithKline USA, ENI, Indena, Chiesi). At present she is ICCOM coordinator for a PRIN 2017 young scientist project (“Advanced injectable nano-composite biomaterials with dual therapeutic/regenerative behaviors for bone cancer”), she participates to the COST action “Eurelax” and to two bilateral project between CNR and Polish Academy of Science and NBIO (Norvegia), she is involved in collaborations with several research groups of CNR and italian and foreign universities and in research projects with Pirelli Tyre and LMPE. She was visiting researcher at the University of Alberta (Prof. Wasylishen-Edmonton, Canada, 2006) and at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Science (Cracow, 2019). Since 2009 she is invited teacher at the National School of NMR of GIDRM (Gruppo Italiano Discussione Risonanze Magnetiche); she has been tutoring several undergraduate students of the University of Pisa. Member of the Board of GIDRM, co-organizer of 3 international and 4 national conferences and workshops, she is co-author of more than 150 communications at conferences, 66 articles on ISI peer-review journals and of 3 book chapters (H-index 17).
