Research impacts
As an early-career researcher, Silvia has made significant contributions to the fields of nanotechnology and electrochemistry, particularly in the nanoengineering of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for (bio)sensing applications. She has developed several MOF-based sensors for hazardous gas detection and is actively working at the intersection of materials science and biological applications. Throughout her academic career, Silvia has published over 15 peer-reviewed articles (including 6 first-author papers) and her papers have been cited >650 times with h-index of 12. Her works have been published in high-impact journals, including Biomaterials, Chemical Engineering Journal, Journal of Materials Chemistry A, and Small Methods. She has also been awarded a Silver Medal by the Kulliyyah of Engineering Research & Innovation Exhibition (KERIE) in recognition of her research excellence.
