Cecilia is a postdoctoral researcher in the Nanobio-Photonics group. In 2022, she received her PhD in Physics from the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Fernando Stefani. Cecilia focused her PhD research on several approaches for measuring temperature with nanometric spatial resolution utilizing the DNA-PAINT super-resolution technique and single molecule fluorescence lifetime measurements. During this time, she acquired hands-on expertise with DNA origami in Guillermo Acuna’s lab. She also worked with the optical printing technique, manipulating metallic and high refractive index nanoparticles such as silicon nanoparticles.
In Simoncelli’s lab she is working developing new single molecule localization microscopy techniques to study biological phenomena at the nano-scale.
