Education and career

After receiving her Ph.D. in 1996 from the University of Naples Federico II, Iavarone worked as a research scientist at the Argonne National Laboratory from 2001 to 2009. She moved to Temple University in 2010, as an associate professor. [3] She became department chair in 2024. [4]

Recognition

She was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2021, after a nomination from the APS Division of Condensed Matter Physics, "for outstanding and pioneering studies of spatially resolved electronic structure in broken symmetry states". [5]
