Women in science: how MSCA grants help you to be independent scientists

Prof. Nicolosi is the Chair of Nanomaterials and Advanced Microscopy in Trinity College Dublin. She received a BSc with honors in Industrial Chemistry from the University of Catania (Italy) in 2001. In 2006, she received a Ph.D. in Physics in 2006 from the University of Dublin, Trinity College (TCD). She moved to the University of Oxford (UK) in February 2008 as a Marie Curie Fellow, to work in the field of advanced electron microscopy, and in April 2008 was awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering/EPSRC Fellowship. After having been awarded an ERC Starting Grant in 2011, she returned to TCD in 2012 as an ERC Research Professor at the Schools of Chemistry and Physics, and a principal investigator in TCD’s Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices (CRANN). As follow-ups to her ERC frontier research project, she won two first ERC Proof-of-concept grants, in 2013 and 2014. She went on to win an ERC Consolidator Grant in 2015, and has just obtained an ERC Proof-of-Concept Grant in 2018 for her project on 2D nanomaterials-based composite films for more efficient thermal conduction (TC2D).
