Short Bio

Physicist and Engineer (B.Sc. in Physics, M.Sc. in Engineering Physics, Ph.D. in Electronic Engineering), specialist in solid state physics, particle tracking, silicon technologies, computational physics and electronic devices, he worked at Politecnico di Torino (Italy) mainly focusing his activity on the study and modeling of quantum tunneling in semiconductor nanostructures and its correlation with crystal defects, especially for what concerns trap-assisted-tunneling (TAT) and band-to-band tunneling (BTBT) in nitride-based diodes and HgCdTe IR detectors. He has been involved as Grant Holder and Principal Investigator at INFN in a project – the “Resistive AC-Coupled Silicon Detectors” (RSD) experiment – whose aim was to design and optimize new generations of high-precision and radiation-resistant silicon particle detectors for ultra-fast timing measurements in the high-luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) at CERN. Within the RSD project, he designed and leaded two batches of RSD sensors, which demonstrated to achieve outstanding time and space resolutions (picosecond and micron level). Actually, he works as Senior Research Fellow at INFN in the design and characterization of monolithic CMOS pixel detectors for particle tracking. He is author of more than 170 publications, including books, patents, journal papers and conference contributions. See the full CV and the complete list of publications
