About

Maria Andolfatto obtained her BSc (2020–2023) and MSc (2023–2025) degrees in Physics from the University of Milano-Bicocca. During her Master’s studies, she specialized in solid-state physics, carrying out her Master’s thesis as a MARVEL Inspire Potential fellow in the Marzari group at EPFL. Her research focused on polar-discontinuous heterostructures, investigated through Density Functional Theory (DFT).

Since September 2025, she has been pursuing a PhD jointly in the Timrov group at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and in the Materials Theory group at ETH Zürich, under the supervision of Prof. Claude Ederer and Dr. Iurii Timrov. Her current research is dedicated to the study of altermagnetic materials.
