Valdis Corradini got the Laurea in Physics in December 1995 at the Università degli Studi di Modena and the PhD in Physics in December 2001, at the Université P.M. Curie (Paris VI) Jussieu, Paris. Working positions are From 2008 Researcher (permanent position) at the CNR S3 National Research Center of Modena devoted to "nanoStructures and bioSystems at Surfaces", on the subject “Multi technique investigation of Molecular nanomagnets at surfaces.” From 2003 to 2008 Researcher (III level, Tenure Track) at the CNR-INFM S3 of Modena. Subject: “Characterization of low dimensional systems and organic molecules on surfaces”. From 2002 to 2003 Research grant at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. Subject: “High resolution spectroscopies and structural properties of low dimensional self-assembled systems” From 2000 to 2002 Research grant at the INFM. Subject: "Low Dimensional ordered systems" From 1997 to 1999 Research fellowship at the PRA-LOTUS of the INFM. Subject: "High resolution spectroscopy study on metal-insulator transitions". He has co-authored about 58 papers in international journals and he is Referee of international reviews. He took part to several International Conferences (8 Oral and many poster presentations) and he was a member of the organizing committees. He spent more than 30 periods of 1–2 weeks to perform measurements at the large scale Synchrotron Radiation Facilities (DIAMOND, SLS,BESSY ESRF, ELETTRA, LURE).

His research activity is devoted to the magnetic, structural and electronic investigation of low-dimensional metallorganic systems grown on metallic or semiconducting surfaces. He developed new strategies for the direct and indirect grafting of properly functionalized Molecular-Nano-Magnets (MNM) on suitable surfaces, exploiting the controlled deposition from solid, liquid or vapor phase. The aim is to verify how the main properties of the molecule are modified by the reduced dimensionality and by the interaction with the surface.
