Francesca Casoli

Francesca Casoli is a research scientist at the Institute of Materials for Electronics and Magnetism (IMEM-CNR). She obtained her PhD in physics from the University of Parma in 2005, investigating magnetic thin films and multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy and exchange-spring properties. Her main research interest is in the design and study of magnetic thin films, nanostructures, and nanocomposites with new functional properties. She has published more than 50 peer-reviewed papers on the correlation between nanoscale structure and magnetic properties in materials for magnetic recording, sensors/actuators, and biomedicine.
