Lilia Boeri, Ph.D.

Boeri is a professor of theoretical condensed matter physics at the Sapienza University of Rome, where she also obtained her Ph.D. She previously worked at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, Germany, and at the Graz University of Technology in Austria.

Her research focuses on the design of novel superconducting and magnetic materials using ab initio methods. She has authored more than 80 scientific publications and delivered more than 100 invited talks and seminars at international conferences and research institutions.

Her recent work concentrates on high-pressure quenching of metastable phases of novel hydrides and borocarbide phases. Boeri is also a member of the Board of Trustees of Psi-k, an international organization supporting the development of electronic structure methods, and she is actively involved in promoting the role of women in STEM.
