Natalia Clementi defended her PhD thesis

Lorena Barba and Natalia Clementi, working something out

Congratulations to Natalia Clementi, who successfully defended her thesis on February 16, 2021. Bravo!

Natalia is from Argentina, with a degree in physics from Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. She was recruited by Prof. Barba during the VI Latin American Symposium on High-Performance Computing (HPC-Latam) in July 2013, and arrived in Washington to join the Barbagroup in Summer of 2014.

Her thesis is titled "Computational Nanoplasmonics for Biosensing Applications: a Boundary Integral Implementation in the Quasistatic Limit."
