Davide Peddis (PhD in Physical Chemistry, 2007) is a Full Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Genova and a Class A Associate Researcher at CNR-ISM. His research is situated at the intersection of Solid State Physical Chemistry and Condensed Matter Physics, with a particular focus on understanding the relationships between physical properties and the morpho-structural characteristics of magnetic nano-heterostructures. Dr. Peddis has co-authored over 190 peer-reviewed publications (h-index: 45; ~6,300 citations), 6 book chapters, and more than 390 scientific communications (76 invited talks). He also co-edited New Trends in Nanoparticle Magnetism (Springer, 2021). He has been involved in 25 funded research projects at both national and international levels (5 as PI, 12 as local P.I.).
