Dr. Silvia Borsacchi

Silvia Borsacchi I’m Senior Researcher at the Institute for the Chemistry of OrganoMetallic Compounds of the National Research Council of Italy (ICCOM-CNR) in Pisa.
My 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.
I graduated in Chemistry in 2003 at the University of Pisa, where I also obtained the PhD in Chemical Sciences in 2007. From 2014 to 2022 I worked as Researcher at ICCOM-CNR in Pisa.
I have been Research Unit Coordinator of a Futuro in Ricerca 2013 project (MUR) for the development and characterization of innovative eco-sustainable cements. I have been ICCOM coordinator for a PRIN 2017 young scientist project (“Advanced injectable nano-composite biomaterials with dual therapeutic/regenerative behaviors for bone cancer”). At present I’m Research Unit Coordinator of the PRIN 2022 project “NUTSHELL: NMR under illumination sheds light on materials” aimed at developing SSNMR experiments under illumination for investigating photo-active materials.
I have worked in many different research projects, funded by public institutions, private foundations, and industries. I have been visiting researcher at the University of Alberta, at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Science and at the Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research in Ås.
Since 2023 I’m Adjunct Professor at the University of Pisa. Since 2009 I’m invited teacher at the National School of NMR of GIDRM (Gruppo Italiano Discussione Risonanze Magnetiche).
I’m Secretary of the IUPAC Committee CHEMRAWN (Chemical Research Applied to World Needs), of the Italian National Commission for IUPAC and of the Board of GIDRM.
I co-organized many national and international scientific events. I’m committed in communication and public engagement activities (Bright, Global Women Breakfast, ..). I’m co-author of more than 150 communications at conferences, 89 articles on ISI peer-review journals and of 3 book chapters (H-index 23).
