Prof. Davide Janner

Davide Janner is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Material Sciences and Technology (DISAT) in Politecnico di Torino. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from Politecnico di Milano in 2006 and his M.Sc. degree in Physics from Università degli Studi di Milano, Milan (Italy), in 2002. From 2006 to the end of 2015, he joined ICFO—The Institute of Photonic Sciences as a junior post-doctoral researcher working on acousto-optic and electro-optic devices for telecommunication and sensing, specializing in techniques of micro- and nano-fabrication. Since January 2016, he has been an Associate Professor in Materials Science, and his research interests are currently focused on glass materials for photonics applications, photonic sensors, and micro-/nano-structured multifunctional materials. During the previous years, his activity has also included technology transfer in the field of processes of nano-fabrication and devices for industry, having also worked on projects directly funded by major multinational companies. He has published more than 120 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, gave 11 invited talks at major international conferences, and has four granted patents.
