Giorgio Sberveglieri, University of Brescia, Brescia, Italy |
Short Bio
After graduating in Physics with Laude from the University of Parma, he began his research by studying and producing new types of thin-film solar cells at the same University.
His research and development activity has always been focused on Applied Physics and the development of functional materials.
In 1987 he moved to the University of Brescia, shifting his activity to semiconductor oxide thin film gas sensors by developing a new growth technique called RGTO, still mentioned in some important texts and studied in several international laboratories. From 2002 he began to carry out research on nanowire gas sensors, again using semiconductor metal oxides, publishing the first paper on this important topic, opening a path followed by many colleagues for the development of high-performance gas sensors.
Lately he has continued the study of nanowire sensors of metal oxides optimizing the preparation parameters and developing new unconventional preparation techniques.
In order to obtain greater selectivity and industrial applicability of the nano-sensors, he has developed an Electronic Nose prototype for applications in the field of food matrix quality, safety and environmental pollution determination. In 2018 he was awarded the title of Professor Emeritus by the Minister of Education, University and Research.
In 2016 he was one of the co-founders of the innovative start-up NANO SENSOR SYSTEMS SRL and took over the Presidency and Legal Representative.
He has published over 500 articles in international peer-reviewed journals. He obtained (source - Google Scholar) 20,000 citations and has an h-index of 73.
