USA and accepted an industrial position at Globalfoundries as a Manager of Customer Packaging Technology and directed the Chip-Package Interaction strategy for the company. Subsequently, Iacopi moved to Australia for a research position with Griffith University, where in 2012, she was awarded a Future Fellowship from the Australian Research Council. During this period, she founded her own research group and invented a catalytic process to obtain epitaxial graphene from silicon carbide on silicon. In 2015, she became a member of Advance Queensland Panel of Experts for the Queensland Government. During this time, she served as an advisor to the Queensland Government on the Science and Innovation for the State. In 2016, Iacopi joined University of Technology Sydney and was appointed as Full Professor. She leads the Integrated Nanosystems Research Lab. In 2017, she served as Head of Discipline, Communications and Electronics for two years; in 2019, she founded and chaired the IEEE Electron Device Society Chapter in New South Wales, along with being appointed as Associate Investigator at the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies (FLEET). In 2020, she was appointed as Chief Investigator for the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems. Research and work Iacopi’s notable research areas include Nanoelectronics, Semiconductors, 2D Materials, Nanophotonics and Energy Storage. Iacopi’s earliest research focused on instrumentation for Medical Nuclear Imaging. In late 1990s, she worked on the forward tracker portion of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector. The underlying purpose of the research was the tracking of elementary particles through interaction of radiation with materials. In a report about the tests of CMS microstrip gas chamber (MSGC) modules at PSI, Iacopi and her colleagues conducted the CMS experiment and tested two CMS MSGC that were similar to the barrel of the tracker, using a high intensity beam. The inner layer of MSGC in CMS proved to be stable in terms of voltage, thus rendering the experiment successful. However, shortly after, a decision was made to change the technology for the CMS tracker to silicon detectors. In 1999, Iacopi started working at one of the largest independent R&D centers for semiconductors (IMEC) and focused on ultra-low-k/Highly porous dielectrics for on-chip interconnects. She is author of several seminal works in this area, which also led to technological implementation in the semiconductor industry. Iacopi authored an article about the problems with the structural stability of ultra-low-k-based
