Valeria Garbin is an Associate Professor at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), she joined the Chemical Engineering Department in October 2019. Her work on colloid and interface science was featured in the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) themed collection on, Celebrating Excellence in Research: 100 Women of Chemistry in 2018.

Education
Garbin studied Physics at Università di Padova, Italy and received her Laurea in 2003. She went on to earn a PhD in Nanotechnology (Department of Physics), from the Università di Trieste, Italy in 2007.

Research
After she completed her PhD, she joined the Physics of Fluids group at University of Twente as a PostDoc (2007 - 2009). She then relocated to the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, USA, for three years (2009-2012). In 2012 she joined the Department of Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London as a lecturer, from 2016 she was a Senior lecturer.

Garbin's research work focuses on microscale transport phenomena of structured fluids and interfaces using a combination of experimental techniques, such as acoustofluidics, microfluidics and high-speed imaging.
