Dr. Elettra Piacentino

Dr. Piacentino received her PhD in physical and analytical chemistry at Northern Illinois University. She previously worked on the computational and mass spectrometric study of the fundamental properties of transition metal-based molecules as well as on the development of novel mass spectrometers. Elettra is interested in studying the chemistry of the formation of prebiotic species in astrochemical ices with particular regard to phosphorous-bearing molecules.
