Short Bio

Giorgio De Simoni graduated with honors in Physics from the University of Pisa in 1999 with a thesis on charge transport induced by surface acoustic waves in low-dimensional heterostructured semiconductors, a research activity that he continued during his PhD in Condensed Matter Physics at the Scuola Normale Superiore, where he was assigned a research project on surface acoustic wave driven on-demand single-photon generation for quantum cryptography application. After a 4-year long postdoctoral period at the Center for Nanotechnology Innovation of the Italian Institute of Technology working on micro- and nano-electromechanical sensors, he joined the Superconducting Quantum Electronics group of the Istituto Nanoscienze of the Italian National Research Council (CNR-Nano). Since 2019 he is a staff researcher of CNR-Nano and he works on quantum transport in superconducting mesoscopic systems.

Research Interests

Giorgio De Simoni has been always working in mesoscopic device physics for opto-electronics, sensing, and computation applications. He is currently involved in quantum transport in mesoscopic superconducting systems and he is particularly focused on fundamental superconductivity (interaction between electric fields and superconductivity), photon sensing (bolometry and calorimetry), magnetometry, superconducting systems for quantum computation and energy-efficient classical electronics.
