Lucia Bossoni
RESEARCH PROFILE
Lucia Bossoni is a Research Policy Advisor and Project Officer for the Department of Applied Physics and Science Education. She supports the faculty board and the researcher community with research project and strategy-related tasks.
During her latest years as a researcher, Lucia focused on the characterization of the magnetic properties of the brain and its implication for neurodegenerative diseases. She combined neuro-imaging (MRI) with Magnetometry to speciate and quantify molecular iron in the brain.

ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
Lucia Bossoni obtained her master's degree (cum laude) in 2010 in Physical Sciences at the University of Pavia and earned her PhD in 2014 in Condensed Matter Physics (CNISM - CNR). She was a post-doctoral fellow from 2014 to 2017 at the Physics Institute of Leiden University and a Senior Researcher at the Leiden University Medical Center (Radiology Department) from 2017 to 2021.
She taught and coordinated the Magnetic Resonance Phenomena course in Leiden (2018-2021) and obtained her University Teaching Qualification in 2021 (UTQ/BKO).
She received a personal NWO-VENI grant (2017), an NWA Idea Generator Grant (2019), a ZonMw Netwerksubsidie (2020), and a Women in STEM grant (2021).
She joined TU/e in December 2021.
