    • Scientific activity

    His research activity is devoted to the realization and characterization of magnetic and multiferroic heterostructures and prototypical devices for spin-optoelectronics, spin-orbitronics, magneto-electronics and nano-biotechnology, and to the development of instrumentation for surface science (electron spin filters).

    He participated to many research project on spin-electronics, as well as MEMS technology and nano-biotechnology, and coordinated 2 italian research projects.

    He is author of more than 100 publications on international journals (WOS and Scopus h-index 22), 4 patent applications and 1 chapter book. He is editor of journals Materials, Frontiers in Electronic Materials and referee of many international journals.

    He attended many international conferences, and co-organized many conferences and events:

    • SuperFOx (First Conference on Superconductivity and Functional Oxides – 2012, Como, Italy)
    • ECOS (workshop on Electric control of spin – 2020, Milano, Italy)
    • 6th Italian School on Magnetism (Information processing in spin-based systems – 2023, Milano, Italy)
    • SpinCom2024 (Spin-based computing and signal processing – 2024, Milano), satellite event of ICM 2024 (Bologna)

    From 2025 he is member of the directory committee of Associazione Italiana di Magnetismo (AIMAGN).

    Teaching

    He is actually lecturer of three courses at Politecnico di Milano:

    He is author of a textbook on wave physics and contributed to different textbooks on classical physics.

    He organized a free event for Kids at “Festival Internazionale dell’Ingegneria” (13-15/9/2024) at Politecnico di Milano dedicated to “Il magnetismo in una scatola – Campi magnetici nella vita quotidiana”
