About

Experimental physicist working on advanced materials and solutions in the areas of functional coatings and devices, addressing applicative issues in Smart surfaces, Nanocomposites, Energy, and Micro-Sensing fields. The research activities are mainly concentrated on the understanding and engineering the “Synthesis ↔ Structure ↔ Properties ↔ Functions” chain of functional thin film synthesis and in correlating the nanoscale and macroscopic properties. Area of expertise covers both thin films fabrication and characterization aspects.
