Giulia Rodighiero is an Italian astronomer whose research concerns galaxy formation and evolution, and the effect of galactic collisions on star formation. She is an associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Padua, where she completed her PhD in 2003. Rodighiero was the 2020 winner of the Premio Linceo per l'Astronomia of the Accademia dei Lincei, for her research on starburst galaxies. She was elected to the Academia Europaea in 2022.

Originally from Vicenza, Rodighiero completed her PhD at the University of Padua in 2003. She then worked at Caltech in California, the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands and the Max Planck Institute in Munich, before returning to Padua, where she is an associate professor of physics and astronomy.^[1]

Rodighiero’s research concerns galaxy formation and evolution, and the effect of galactic collisions on star formation. She is credited with the 2011 discovery of the role of violent collisions between galaxies in the formation of their stars, a “paradigm shift in the understanding of the history of star formation”.^[1]

In 2019 she was a member of a University of Padua-led team that used images from the James Webb Space telescope to show that some galaxies "contain surprising amounts of dust".^[2][3]

Rodighiero was the 2020 winner of the Premio Linceo per l'Astronomia of the Accademia dei Lincei, for her research on starburst galaxies.^[1] She was elected to the Academia Europaea in 2022. She has been a member of the Member of the Accademia Olimpica since 2018.^[4][2]
