Aba Losi received her PhD in Biophysics in 1997. During her Marie Curie postdoctorate with Silvia Braslavsky (Max Planck Institute for radiation Chemistry), she explored the energy landscape of photosensing proteins by means of pulsed photoacoustics.
She is presently Associate Professor in Biophysics at the University of Parma (Italy), teaching physics and photobiology. Her research is focused on mechanistic aspects of photoreceptors for visible light in bacteria and their applications in biophysics, as well as their evolution and physiological role.
She has authored/co-authored 78 publications in peer-reviewed international journal and 8 book chapters (H-index 29, from Scopus).
Since 2006 she is member of the editorial board of the journal Photochemical and Photobiological Sciences- RSC.
Since 2014 she is engaged in the organization of several activities devoted to the divulgation of scientific culture, among which the European Night of the Researchers.
