Since 2019, Research Associate and Principal Investigator of the CORE Project “Ultrafast coherent hybridization of photons and spins in multi-functional magnetoplasmonic metamaterials – ULTRON”, supported by the National Research Fund Luxembourg (FNR), at the Department of Physics and Materials Science at the University of Luxembourg.
The main objective of my research is to develop novel concepts in materials science by investigating the physical properties of multi-functional nanoscale metamaterials of high technological interest, in particular for information processing in the framework of ultrafast magnetism and opto-spintronics, by using laser-based frequency- and time-resolved spectroscopy techniques spanning from the visible to the THz frequency range. Part of my research is also devoted to develop new schemes for improving the detection of molecules and the discrimination of chemical reactions on the nanoscale by using advanced plasmonic architectures and materials. The aim of this research line is to foster multidisciplinary collaborations with national and international partners to identify and develop novel, more sensitive and more affordable bio-medical technologies.
Author of more than 40 publications in several high-impact peer-reviewed journals, including Physical Review Letters, Nature Communications and Nano Letters. I have also contributed to more than 70 scientific conferences, workshops, schools and academic seminars all over the world.
Background
I started my research activity in 2010 at the Department of Physics of the University of Ferrara (Ferrara, Italy) as Undergraduate Research Assistant working on exchange bias in magnetic materials. From 2012 to 2016 I was Pre-doctoral Researcher at the Nanoscience Research Center CIC nanoGUNE (Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain), where I studied the physical properties of plasmonic magnetic nanostructures and their application to bio-sensing and optical isolation at the nanoscale. My contributions to the field of magneto-plasmonics were recognized in 2015 by the Italian Physical Society through the Piero Brovetto Award. After short visits at Aalto School of Science (Eespo, Finland) in 2014, and at the Chalmers University of Technology (Gothenburg, Sweden) in 2015, I obtained the PhD in Physics of Nanostructures and Advanced Materials in 2016 from the University of the Basque Country (Bilbao, Spain). From 2017 to 2018 I was a Research Associate at the Italian Institute of Technology (Genova, Italy) in the Plasmon Nanotechnologies Group, where my main activities were devoted to expand my knowledge on photonic nanostructures for biological applications, such as single molecule detection and sequencing.
