She then moved to the School of Physics and Astronomy at Nottingham where she has been Professor of Physics (since 2011) and Director of Research (2019-23). Her research achievements in semiconductor physics were recognized by the Sir Charles Vernon Boys Medal and Prize of the Institute of Physics (2007), an EPSRC Advanced Research Fellowship (2004-09), a Leverhulme Trust Research Fellowship (2017-19), a Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) President’s International Fellowship Award (2018-19), and an honorary professorship at the Institute of Semiconductors, CAS, Beijing (since 2019). Since 2015, Patanè has been the UK Director and Council member of the European Magnetic Field Laboratory, a national facility of the EPSRC for the development and use of magnetic fields. Also, she leads at Nottingham the EPI2SEM facility, now a hub for the development of next generation atomically-thin semiconductors for science and technologies.
