Sofia Quaglioni is a nuclear physicist. She is Deputy Group Leader at the Nuclear Data and Theory Group in the Nuclear and Chemical Sciences Division in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), and is a member of the DOE Topical Collaboration on Double Decay and Fundamental Symmetries.[1]
Quaglioni completed her undergraduate degree from the University of Trento, Italy, and then PhD from the same institution in 2005. She was then a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Arizona. She joined LLNL in 2006.[1] At LLNL, Quaglioni conducts research on nuclei, investigating their properties based on the nuclear interactions between protons and neutrons. [2]
