Welcome to quantA Fellow Silvia!

by

We warmly welcome Silvia Trabucco as a PostDoc in our theory team! Silvia completed her PhD at the Gran Sasso Science Institute in the group of Massimo Mannarelli. During her PhD, together with our former group members Elena Poli and Thomas Bland, she contributed to the development of the first analog model of a neutron star using dipolar atoms in the supersolid phase.

Furthermore, Silvia was awarded with the two-year QuantA Fellowship 2025 – Empowering Women in Quantum Science, with her application titled “Unfolding neutron stars with supersolids”. Congratulations for this achievement and welcome to our group!
