Cristina Sissa received her PhD in Material Science in 2010 at University of Parma (Italy). Since 2015, she is Assistant Professor at University of Parma. The research activity is mainly devoted to the investigation of optical properties of molecular materials, focusing in particular on the environmental effects (solvation, intermolecular interactions, etc.). Theoretical models are developed to investigate linear and nonlinear spectroscopic properties of (multi)chromophoric systems.
