I have a Master in Material Science and Technology and a PhD in Physics obtained from the University of Roma “Tor Vergata” in November 2012. Since my PhD, my research activity has been focused on the investigation of surface systems/phenomena in ultra-high vacuum conditions using microscopy and spectroscopy techniques, in particular scanning probe microscopies and x-ray absorption and photoelectron spectroscopies.
In 2013, I was awarded a highly competitive postdoctoral fellowship funded by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ETH-Zurich and the Marie Curie Actions to explore single-atom systems for applications in computation and data-storage with the aim to demonstrate the use of individual magnetic atoms on surfaces as qubits. This work demonstrated, for the first time, that individual rare-earth atoms on ultra-thin insulating layers grown on non-magnetic metal substrates exhibit magnetic remanence and, therefore, are the first magnets formed by a single surface-adsorbed atom (Science 352, 318). My research activity on single-atom magnets has continued since then and has been carried out in collaboration with international partners at ETH and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), through the competitive access to different synchrotron radiation facilities across Europe and by exploiting spin polarized scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and Electrons Spin Resonance (ESR) STM (I was involved in the development of one of the first ESR-STM in the world).
My research interests also include:
I have been back in Italy since 2018, first at the Department of Sciences at Roma Tre University as non-tenured assistant professor (RTDA) and now at the Department of Physics of “Tor Vergata” University as tenure-track assistant professor (RTDB).
