As part of our commitment to equity, inclusion and diversity within the nanoelectronics community, SiNANO is launching a series of portraits highlighting the women researchers and contributors who shape our institute. Through these short spotlights, we aim to showcase the diversity of paths, expertise and perspectives that drive our scientific ecosystem forward.
Each profile offers a glimpse into their work, their role within SiNANO, and the message they wish to share with the next generation of scientists. In this atricle you will discover a little more about Elena Del Coro, Senior Scientific Researcher at ICN2
Can you introduce yourself?
My name is Elena and I am senior scientific researcher at ICN2. I studied chemistry, was always willing to learn new things so decided to do a PhD in physical chemistry and further develop my career in this area
Can you explain your work in simple terms?
Our aim is to develop medical implants that do not require the use of an external battery and could be self-powered
What is your role within the SiNANO Institute?
I am ICN2 representative at Sinano and contribute to the Equity working group
What does being a woman in science represent for you? / What impact do you think greater representation of women in science would have?
For me, it represents possibility, to be present in spaces where we are not yet equally represented. By increasing women representation, we broaden the perspectives leading to better, and and more responsive to real-world needs, scientific answers.
What message would you like to share with young girls who hesitate to pursue science?
The world need all vocations and perspectives, curiosity has no gender.
“Did you know that our body natural kinetics, like for example the movement of our stomach while breathing, can be converted into energy to power devices?”
