Silvia Ronco came to Research Corporation in September 2003 from the University of South Dakota where she was professor of chemistry. Her research interests involve the synthesis and electron transfer studies of transition metal complexes with applications in solar energy conversion, and the design of luminescence sensors and photocatalysts. She received a Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry from the National University of La Plata in Argentina. Before joining the USD faculty in 1992, she did postdoctoral work with Guillermo Ferraudi at the Notre Dame Radiation Laboratory and with John D. Petersen at Clemson University.
She has been a visiting professor at the University of California-San Diego, a Program Officer for the Photochemical and Radiation Sciences Program at the U.S. Department of Energy, and the P.I. for an interdisciplinary NSF-Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at USD. She is currently a member of the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) Board of Governors, and a Chemistry Councilor for the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR).
