I received MEng degree summa cum laude in Telecommunications Engineering in 2008 and got PhD in 2012 from the University of Siena (Italy). From 2023 I'm working as Senior Researcher at National Research Council of Italy (CNR), Institute of Applied Physics "Nello Carrara" (IFAC). My current research interests encompass: 1) optical fiber sensors and devices; 2) optical biosensors; 2) optical fiber gratings; 3) fiber optic probes; 4) micro-resonators; 5) resonant nanocavities and photonic structures; 6) lossy mode resonance devices; 7) plasmonic devices; 8) Alzheimer's disease; 9) Functional nanomaterials/nanostructures for sensing; 10) Nanomaterials for drud delivery. He is actively working in several European, Bilateral and National projects. He is part of the Editorial board of several journals (Elsevier Optics & Laser Technology, Elsevier Measurement: Energy; MDPI Optics and Frontiers in Manufacturing Technology) and is member of the Programme Committee of SPIE Photonics Europe (Optical Sensing and Detection conference) and OPTICA Bragg Gratings, Photosensitivity and Poling in Optical Materials and Waveguides (BGPP). He is author of more than 100 publications on the subjects in ISI Journals and in Conference Proceedings. He was awarded by Springer Nature, IEEE, OPTICA and IOP as Outstanding Reviewer recipient. He is Member of IEEE, SPIE, EOS, and SIOF. He gave more than 20 invited lectures and several invited seminars in the fields.
