Biography
I am currently assistant professor in the group of Superconductivity and Magnetism in Innovative Materials at the Department of Applied Science and Technology of Politecnico di Torino. My research work is grounded in condensed matter physics, studying the electronic properties of advanced materials at low temperatures and under the application of extremely high electric fields. My current main lines of research focus on: the control of exotic quantum phases – such as superconductivity and charge-density waves – by means of electrostatic and electrochemical charge doping; the investigation of the low-frequency electric transport properties of advanced materials and composites; the study of the fundamental properties of unconventional superconductors via point-contact Andreev-reflection spectroscopy; and the characterization of the surface physical properties (morphological, electrical, thermal and infrared optical) of advanced materials via various scanning probe microscopy techniques.
