Short Bio

I graduated in Physics at Pisa University on 1991 and I got a PhD at Physics Department “A. Volta”, Pavia University in 1994. I had post doc positions at the Physics Department, University of Pisa and at Istituto Nazionale Fisica della Materia. In 2001 I have been visiting scientist at the Central Michigan University. Since 2009 I am researcher at the National Enterprise for nanoScience and nanoTechnology (NEST) of the CNR-Istituito di Nanoscienze. I dedicated my research activity to electronic and transport properties of low dimensional systems (quantum wires and polymeric chains) and more recently to the dynamical properties of graphene sheets and of ionic liquids studied by means of recursive algorithms based on tight binding formalism and of classical molecular dynamics simulations. Since 2006 I am titular of the course Physics of the Materials for the Photonics, for the Laurea Degree in Physics at the University of Pisa.

Research Interests

In the ambit of the physics of the condensed matter and material science: transport in aperiodic and disordered low dimensional systems such as quantum wires in polymeric chains, studied by means of tight binding formalism and recursive techniques; dynamical properties of graphene sheets and ionic liquids, studied by means of classical molecular dynamics simulations.
