Professor Selloni completed studies at the Universitá La Sapienza in 1974 and received her PhD from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne in 1979. Her work is in materials and processes that are relevant for energy applications and environmental remediation, e.g., metal oxides, photocatalysis and photovoltaics. Computational tools based on density functional theory (DFT) are used and developed, as well as time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), and ab-initio molecular dynamics. The main focus is on structure, electronic properties and reactivity, especially at surfaces and interfaces.
