Guido Goldoni

Guido Goldoni is Associate Professor in the Physics of Matter at the Univ. of Modena and Reggio Emilia and a research affiliate of the Italian CNR-Institute for Nanoscience. He graduated in physics cum laudae in 1988 at the Univ. of Modena, and received his Ph.D. in Physics of the Condensed Matter at the S.I.S.S.A.,/I.S.A.S., Trieste in 1993. Lately he has been post-doc at the University of Antwerp (Belgium, 1994-1995) and the University of Modena (1996-2001). In 2001 he became Assistant professor at the University of Modena. He has been Visiting professor at Univ. Jaume I (ES) (2009). He currently teaches statistical mechanics and computational physics and he is Director of the M.Sc. (Laurea Magistrale) in Physics.

His scientific activities focus on modeling electronic properties at the nanoscale, from quantum nanostructures to macromolecular and hybrid systems, with emphasis on correlation effects and spin-orbit coupling in spin and charge excitations of solids, and descriptions of optical and transport spectroscopies of nano-materials. Most recent activities focused on modelling hetero-structured semiconductor nanowires and ultra-short timescale phenomena of optical excitations in semiconductor devices. In these research fields he collaborated with leading theoretical and experimental partner groups and he co-authored ~140 articles in international journals and contributions to monographs (with ~1800 citations, H-index = 26, ISI WoS, Sept 2021) and a school textbook on nanoscience.

He has coordinated several national/international projects [EU - Marie Curie, M.I.U.R.-FIRB, M.A.E.], and HPC projects and he is member of national and international research evaluation boards.
