Giulia Galli is Professor of Chemistry and Physics at the University of California, Davis. She holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the International School of Advanced Studies in Trieste, Italy. She is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) and she served as chair of the Division of Computational Physics of the APS for the year 2006-2007. In 2000, she received an award of excellence from the Department of Energy for "Technical Excellence in Advanced Simulations". In 2004 she was the recipient of the Science and Technology Award from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where she was the head of the Quantum Simulations Group from 2000 to 2005. Her current research activity is focused on quantum simulations of systems and processes relevant to condensed matter physics, physical chemistry, materials and nano-science (http://angstrom.ucdavis.edu/).
