Research Area: PHYS-03/A - Fisica Sperimentale della Materia e Applicazioni
Research activities
I have been an associate professor at the University of Pisa since 2017. I began my academic career in the field of growth and spectroscopic characterization of rare-earth-doped crystalline insulating materials in the visible and near-infrared regions.
Over the years, my research interests have expanded towards the mid-infrared and THz regions. Throughout my career, I have characterized and optimized many devices and materials for various applications such as photonics, scintillation, quantum information technologies, biomedicine, etc. Recently, I have been working on developing new spectroscopy and imaging methods in the THz region for monitoring plant health, and also fruit and food quality.
As of 2022, in all these research areas, I have published more than 190 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, I hold two patents, and I am accredited with an h-index of 51 in Scopus and 49 in ISI WoS.
