Luigi Sangaletti graduated in Physics at the University of Milan (Italy) and received his Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Pavia (Italy). He is a Full professor of Condensed Matter Physics at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (UCSC). He is also the Director of the Mathematics and Physics Department at UCSC and a member of the steering committee of I-LAMP (Interdisciplinary Lab for Advanced Materials Physics), one of the research centers of the UCSC Science Faculty. He is currently involved in research projects on (i) the properties, growth, and characterization of low dimensional materials, nanostructures, surfaces, and interfaces in materials of technological relevance; (ii) the characterization and development of gas-sensing devices (e-noses for environmental monitoring, breathomics) and solar cells based on nanostructured carbon hybrid systems; (ii) light–matter interaction and physics of the fundamental processes concerning the use and development of soft-x-ray spectroscopies techniques, including core level and resonant photoemission spectroscopy, x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES)
