Curriculum vitae

  • Graduation cum laude in Nuclear Engineering in 1999 at Politecnico di Milano, with a thesis on the employ of genetic algorithms and Monte Carlo simulation for optimal plant design.

  • Process engineer in Corning OTI from 2000 to 2002 for the realization of special optical fibers.

  • PhD in Physics in 2005 at Politecnico di Milano, with a thesis on semiconductor spin electronics.

  • Assistant professor at the Physics Department of Politecnico di Milano from 2008 to 2014.

  • Associate professor from 2014 at Politecnico di Milano.

    • 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)

    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”
