Unraveling hot carrier processes for advancing plasmonic energy devices (Invited Paper)

Dr. Giulia Tagliabue is a Tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Institute of Mechanical Engineering at EPFL where sheleads the Laboratory of Nanoscience for Energy Technologies (LNET). She obtained her PhD in Mechanical Engineering from ETH Zurich in 2015. From 2015 to 2018 she was a Swiss National Science Foundation Fellow carrying on her postdoctoral research jointly at Caltech and the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP). Dr. Tagliabue’s research focuses on the study of fundamental mechanisms and nanophotonic-design strategies for light-energy conversion devices, with a special interest for light-energy storage systems. Dr. Tagliabue is the recipient of the First Prize of the Rising Stars of Light Award 2020, the 2021 Early Career Award in Nanophotonics and the 2023 Zellner Prize in Physical Chemistry. In 2020 she was awarded an Eccellenza Grant from SNSF and in 2022 she received an SNSF Starting Grant. Dr. Tagliabue is Managing Editor of the journal Nanophotonics.
