Prof. Gianluca Ghigo has been an Assistant Professor at the Department of Applied Science and Technology, Politecnico di Torino (Italy) since 2001. He has been an Associate Researcher at the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) since 1993, at the National Institute for the Physics of Matter (INFM) since 1993 (of CNISM since 2005), and at the National Institute of Metrological Research (INRIM) since 2009. He received a degree in physics in 1992 and a Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of Torino, Torino, Italy in 1997. Since 1993, he has been involved in the electric and magnetic characterization of superconductors and the study of the effects of heavy-ion irradiation on their properties. He established a laboratory for the high-frequency electromagnetic characterization of materials in cryogenic environments by means of microwave techniques. During his scientific activity, he has published more than 100 papers on international reviews and presented several oral communications to international congresses. He is the referee of several journals, including Physical Review Letters, Physical Review B, and Superconductor Science and Technology. His main research areas include critical temperature, high-temperature superconductors, magnetic fields, single crystals, superconductivity, and bias currents.
