Chiara Giorio (born 1984) is an Italian atmospheric chemist who is an Assistant Professor in the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Christ's College.[2][3] Her research is focused on the chemistry of the Earth’s atmosphere and its impact on air quality and climate.
Early Life & Education
Giorio was born and grew up in Vicenza (Italy). She attended the “Liceo Scientifico G.B. Quadri” where she became interested in Chemistry. She then studied at the University of Padova where she received her Bachelor’s degree in 2006 and Master’s degree in 2008 in chemistry.[3] Giorio attained a PhD in Molecular Sciences from the University of Padova on 28 February 2012.[3] During her PhD, Giorio studied the chemical composition of individual airborne particles and used receptor modeling techniques to apportion their sources.
Research & Career
After her studies, Giorio became a postdoc at the University of Padova where she worked on the environmental dispersion of neonicotinoid insecticides through dust emitted by seeders during the sowing of corn seeds treated with neonicotinoids, and the consequential in-flight contamination and acute toxicity for honeybees [4][5][6]. She also worked on assessing the usability and environmental impact of vineyard pruning residues as an energy source [7].
In 2013, Giorio transferred to the University of Cambridge as a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Chemistry in Markus Kalberer research group. In Cambridge, Giorio‘s research was focused on determining the chemical composition and formation processes of secondary organic aerosols. She developed a method for the quantification of the highly reactive Criegee intermediates produced by ozonolysis reactions in the atmosphere [8] and she studied the impact of aqueous phase processing on aerosol composition [9].
In January 2017, Dr. Giorio became a researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research and later that year, became tenure-track Assistant Professor at the University of Padova. As of March 2020, she is an Assistant Professor at the University of Cambridge [10], leading her own research group [11].
Research in Giorio’s Research Group is focused on the chemistry of the Earth’s atmosphere and its impact on air quality and climate. In particular, the group studies coordination chemistry in atmospheric aerosols and cloud/fog droplets, source apportionment of atmospheric aerosol using receptor models, indoor air quality, greenhouse gases emissions, and organic compounds in ice cores as proxies for paleoclimate reconstruction [12].
