Prof. Antonio Di Bartolomeo

Antonio Di Bartolomeo is a full professor of experimental condensed matter physics and the president of the Physics Education Committee at the University of Salerno, Italy, where he teaches semiconductor-device physics and nanoelectronics. His present research interests include the optical and electrical properties of nanostructured materials, such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and 2D materials; van der Waals heterostructures and Schottky junctions; field effect transistors; non-volatile memories; solar cells; photodetectors; field emission devices; supercapacitors; and fuel cells. He received his Ph.D. in physics in 1997 from the University of Salerno, where he held the position of researcher in experimental physics before his appointment as a professor. His scientific career started at CERN (CH) with a collaboration in experiments on neutrino oscillations and heavy-ion collisions. He spent several years in the industry as a semiconductor device engineer (ST Microelectronics, Infineon Technologies, and Intel Corporation) and was a guest scientist at IHP-Microelectronics (Germany) and Georgetown University (Washington, DC). He has given over 100 presentations at international conferences and has authored more than 150 publications in peer-reviewed journals, two physics textbooks, and two patents. He is serving as the editor-in-chief and an editorial board member of several journals.
