Ricerca

Research activities mainly focus on materials and interfaces, devices and microsystems, renewable energy and environment:

Materials & Interfaces

• Development of new materials and interfaces
• Chemical‐physical analysis of materials and Interfaces
• Biomaterials and biotechnologies for medical applications

Devices & Microsystems

Design, fabrication, characterization and packaging of innovative devices based on silicon compatible technology. In particular:

• Silicon‐based devices for radiation detection
• CMOS high‐performance low‐cost vision devices
• Silicon‐based photonics and custom MEMS for radio frequency, biomedical, agro‐food and environmental applications

Renewable energy and environment

Study and development of innovative solutions for renewable energies with a special focus on energy re‐use and near zero energy buildings [NZEB]
