Jolanda Spadavecchia obtained her degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology from the University of Bari, Italy in 2000 following postgraduate studies at the University of Lecce on the synthesis of phthalocyanines from natural products. Since 2001 she was a Ph.D. student in Material Engineering in the Engineering Faculty of the University of Lecce (Italy). She worked at the Laboratoire Charles Fabry of the Optic Institute, in Orsay, France for 3 years (2006-2009). Her past research activity has mainly been devoted to surface plasmons resonance imaging systems and biomolecular surface interaction characterizations, for dynamical biochip applications. Since 2010 she is researcher for CNRS at Laboratory of Reactivity and Surface, (Université Pierre Marie Curie Paris VI. France). His research interests concern the synthesis of organic compounds, Gold Nanoparticles, sensor applications and characterisation, DNA-based sensors. Another research activity is devoted in the synthesis of TiO2 Nanocrystals and Gold Nanohybrid System for biomedical applications. She is co-author of about 47 publications and 50 conferences.
