Research activities
Since from the beginning of my research activity, I have been involved in laser/matter interaction applied to nanotechnologies, innovative materials for photonics, metrology, biophysics.
Presently, my major research interests are:
(1) optical near-field nanoscopy for the investigation of optical properties at the nanoscale in nanostructured materials;
(2) scanning probe microscopy and surface metrology in microfabricated samples with antibacterial and antiviral properties;
(3) plasmon nanoparticles and their exploitation within innovative gene editing strategies;
(4) ring laser gyroscope interferometry applied to metrology of the Earth rotational velocity.
Past research lines include: laser manipulation of cold atomic vapors, laser production of monochromatic ion beams, pulsed laser ablation and thin film deposition, fluorescence diagnostics of plasmas, atomic and molecular laser spectroscopy.
