Chiara Puccinelli was born in Lucca, Italy, in 1997. She completed her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Chemistry at the University of Pisa, where she optimized the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles doped with aluminium and cobalt.
In November 2022, she joined BrightComSol GmbH, a company that develops and produces perovskite-based materials and nanomaterials to be used in X-rays scintillators.
In September 2023, she became a PhD student in the Bonifazi group as part of the Melomanes project. Her research focuses on synthesizing and characterizing iron carbide nanoparticles with a graphitic carbon coating for applications in magnetic and optical hyperthermia.
