About me
Defectiveness and Final Certification Area Manager at STMicroelectronics
Education

Liceo Scientifico N. Copernico Brescia
1989 - 1994High School Diploma (Maturità scientifica) 60/60
Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore
2001 - 2003PhD, Physics (Dottorato di ricerca in Fisica)Activities and Societies: At the end of the year 2000, earned a Ph.D. grant from the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Brescia in consortium with the Università Statale di Milano and Milano Bicocca. I worked in the group of Prof. Massimo Sancrotti in the field of Physics of Surface, Interfaces and Nanostructures primarily operating in Brescia at the Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica of the Università Cattolica. Thesis: Micro- and Nano- Structures at Surfaces: a Spectromicroscopy Investigation At the beginning my activity has been devoted to the setting-up and commissioning of an experimental apparatus for morphological and chemical imaging of surfaces at the micro- and nano-scale, on which I started working during the year 2000 with an INFM grant. After that, I was involved in a number of scientific projects in collaboration also with other research groups: from Trieste (INFM-TASC, Prof. M. Sacrotti and ELETTRA, S. Heun), Milano (Università Statale, Prof. P. Milani), Roma… Show more At the beginning my activity has been devoted to the setting-up and commissioning of an experimental apparatus for morphological and chemical imaging of surfaces at the micro- and nano-scale, on which I started working during the year 2000 with an INFM grant. After that, I was involved in a number of scientific projects in collaboration also with other research groups: from Trieste (INFM-TASC, Prof. M. Sacrotti and ELETTRA, S. Heun), Milano (Università Statale, Prof. P. Milani), Roma (Università La Sapienza, Prof. M.G. Betti) and Berkeley (UC Berkeley, Prof. A. Lanzara). Almost all these projects have the common feature of being spectromicroscopic studies of some micro- or nano-structured interfaces obtained by self-assembling or by template-induced organization at surfaces. In particular, I studied the Ag/Ge(111), K/InAs(110), C/Si(100) and Pentacene/Cu(119) interfaces.My research activity has resulted in a number of publications on physics international journals.

Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste
Jan 2000 - Dec 2000INFM GrantAfter the degree in physics I spent almost one year at the Laboratorio Nazionale TASC (Trieste) with an INFM grant. During this period, I was introduced into the physics of surfaces and interfaces and I experienced some of the experimental techniques most used in this field.
