Marilù Chiofalo is a Phd from the Scuola Normale and professor of theoretical physics at the University of Pisa. She teaches courses in basic physics for life sciences, quantum liquids and quantum biology for MD and PhD in Physics, and The physics of everyday life for physics BD students, for teaching training. She is active in physics education research, collaborating with Marisa Michelini. She is part of numerous international collaborations, where she conducts research on quantum states of matter to create quantum simulators and for applications to fundamental physics, and she studies with the neuroscientist Concetta Morrone quantum models for visual neurosciences. She is author of more than 160 peer-reviewed articles, two monographies and one edited book, and her work has been the subject of numerous seminars on invitation to conferences or international scientific institutions. She is an active outreacher often at the crossing between arts and science, where she authors radio, video and theater formats about science and writes for magazines and journals about science and society. She is part and co-founder of Women for Quantum. She is part of the DIGIQ EU ecosystem, coordinating the Pisa University unit. For the Quantum Flagship QTEdu-CSA, she co-coordinated the pilot project Quantum Technologies Education for Everyone and directed the early days of the Discover section of the Qplaylearn platform designed by Sabrina Maniscalco for quantum physics education. For ten years she has served as Deputy-mayor of Pisa and contributed for the National Association of Italian Municipalities to national planning against gender violence and to policies design within the Observatory for Childhood and Adolescence. She is an omnivorous reader, especially fantasy, science fiction, and comics, and videogame player to advance to the next frame. She has learned from volleyball to score in three touches (one being her, as setter), from soccer to score goals with overhead kicks, and from bicycle to crash when necessary. She loves making ensemble music by playing tenor sax in the University of Pisa Orchestra. She attends the Labodif school of Gianna Mazzini and Gio Galletti.
