Narges Yaghoobi Nia holds Ph.D. in Electronics Engineering in 2017. In 2014 and 2022 she was awarded a MARIE CURIE Fellowship as a part of the EU-funded project (Destiny FP7/2007–2013) and a global MARIE CURIE Fellowship for perovskite in space, respectively.  She is founder of the PVSPACE Organisation. She is currently Principal investigator of P4SPACE project in Aerospace Engineering School of Sapienza University of Rome, Italy and EPFL University in Lausanne, Switzerland.

She was member, key Person and task leader of VIPERLAB project (Fully Connected Virtual and Physical Perovskite Photovoltaic Lab Knowledge Exchange Portal, funded from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme). She is also Editorial Board Manager of Communication Engineering, Nature Portfolio.

She has also the role of Communication Manager in the NEXTCCUS project (Next Generation Electrochemical System for Sustainable Direct CO2 Capture and Utilization/Storage as Clean Solar Fuel) ERA-NET ACT 2021. She is also Scientific responsible of CHOH – D project (Italian industrial project for CO2 reduction) in Italy.

She was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electronics Engineering, University of Rome Tor Vergata. She has more than 12 years’ experience in the fields of emerging thin film PVs (especially perovskite solar cells/modules, tandem solar Module for terrestrial and aerospace applications) and electrochemistry of polymeric layers. She was a member of ESPRESSO, ENEA, PRIN and PERSEO projects and collaborator for the ASI (Italian Space Agency) projects. She published more than 50 scientific papers in international journals, books and chapters in addition to two patents relevant to perovskite PVs and electrochemical reactors.

She has expertise for organizing the conferences and workshops e.g. PVSPACE-23, PVSPACE-2022 conferences and PEROSPACE-2022 workshop relevant to photovoltaics for space applications.
