Born the 21st of November
1961, he received his master degree in Physics in 1985 at the University of Trento and the PhD in Physics in 1990 at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale of Lausanne
(Switzerland). In 1990 he became Assistant Professor, an Associate Professor
in 1999 and Full Professor in 2002 at the |

He is also a researcher within
the National Institute for the Physics of Matter (INFM) where he coordinates
the Italian research on light emission from silicon. He founded the research
activity in semiconductor physics at the |
|
His main research interests
include the optical properties of semiconductors, the properties of III-V
semiconductors grown on high index surfaces, the role of hydrogen in
semiconductors, the diffusion of impurities in GaAs,
the disorder in superlattices, the photonic
crystals. During the last years, he concentrated on Si-based
optoelectronics where he has been working on porous
silicon and on silicon nanostructures. Among his
most important achievements the demonstration of the first all porous silicon
optical microcavity, the explanation of the
non-exponential decay of the luminescence in porous silicon, the fabrication of
Si LED in a fully CMOS compatible environment and
the first evidence of optical gain and stimulated emission in Si quantum dot nanocrystals. All of these results opened
the way to a Si-based optoelectronics
and to the future fabrication of a Si-based laser. |

In Si
optoelectronics he is one of the worldwide most
recognized experts, he organized several international conferences, workshops
and schools and is a frequent invited speaker. He manages several research projects,
both national and European. He is an author or co-author of more than 140
papers, author of several reviews, editor of 3 books and of a patent. He is a
member of the Editorial Board of Journal of Nanoscience
and Nanotechnologies. |
