Introduction
Bio
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. Then, 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, fruit and food quality and I am also working on the development of integrated photonics circuits for quantum computing applications. As of 2024, in all these research areas, I have published more than 200 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, I hold two patents, and I am accredited with an h-index of 52 in Scopus and 50 in ISI WoS.
