Silvana Botti is a full professor for Theory of Excited States of Integrated Solid State Systems at the Ruhr University Bochum.[1] She is an expert in the development of first-principles methods for electronic excitations and methods for theoretical spectroscopy.[2]

Education and professional life[edit]

She did her PhD at the University of Pavia in 2002.[3] After her PhD, she was a Marie-Curie Fellow at the University of Paris-Saclay.[4] She was also appointed CNRS Research Scientist there in 2004.[4] In 2008, she moved to University of Lyon where she habilitated in 2010.[4][3] In 2014, she became a full professor for physics at the University of Jena.[2] Her research group was a member of the European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility.[5] Since 2023, she has been a full professor for Theory of Excited States of Integrated Solid State Systems at Ruhr University Bochum.[1]

Research[edit]

Her research focuses on theoretical spectroscopy and the development of first-principles methods for electronic excitations based on (time-dependent) density functional theory and many-body perturbation theory.[6][2] She edited the book "First Principles Approaches to Spectroscopic Properties of Complex Materials".[7] She is an associate editor of npj Computational Materials.[4] Botti was part of an international research collaboration on a silicon-based direct bandgap light emitter, which was announced to be the "Breakthrough of the Year" by Physics World in 2020.[8][9]
