Maria Iavarone received her PhD from the University of Napoli Federico II, Italy, in 1996. She was then a staff scientist at Argonne National Laboratory in the Materials Science Division from 2001-09. In 2010, she joined Temple University as Associate Professor in the Department of Physics. Her research mainly centers on two subjects: strongly correlated electron systems and mesoscopic systems with a focus on materials. Maria Iavarone published more than 75 papers in international journals and 1 patent.
