Lucia Sorba is Associate Professor at the Department of Physics of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy.
After graduating at Rome University of La Sapienza, she has been a post-doctoral research associate at the Fritz-Haber-Institut in Berlin, and permanent research staff member of National Research Council (1986-1999).

From 1988 she has carried out her research activity at the TASC-INFM National Laboratory in Trieste.

From 1997-1999 she has been research fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at the Walther Schottky Institut in Munich (Germany).

From 1999 she is responsible of the high mobility MBE activity at the TASC-INFM National Laboratory in Trieste (Italy).

Her research activity is focused on the synthesis and characterization of epitaxial semiconductor materials. She has over 15 year experience on the Molecular Beam Epitaxy Technique. In the last years her research activity is focused on the synthesis of high mobility two dimensional electron gas in AlGaAs/GaAs and InAlAs/InGaAs heterostructures and on the study of the low temperature magneto-transport properties of such systems.

She is referee of several major international scientific journals. Se has published more then 130 papers in international journals
