Summary
Chiara Moretti is a PhD-trained materials chemist and postdoctoral researcher with 11 years of experience studying nanoparticle synthesis, self-assembly and the collective properties of nanostructures, now applying that expertise to mycelium-based composites and biopolymer coatings at EPFL. Her background blends advanced surface chemistry and in situ synchrotron SAXS/WAXS/PDF analysis with hands-on nanomaterials processing, giving her a rare ability to connect nanoscale growth mechanisms to macroscopic functional materials. She has led projects from fundamental studies of nanoplatelet formation to sustainable materials development, and has taught and mentored at ENS Lyon during her PhD. Based in Lausanne, she brings cross-disciplinary fluency—combining chemistry, materials science and data-rich synchrotron methods—to translate hard-to-measure phenomena into engineered coatings and mycomaterials. An often-overlooked strength is her track record of turning sophisticated scattering data into actionable process insights, making her well suited for translational research at the interface of nanoscience and sustainability.
