He has been a visiting scientist at the University of Toronto (2008) and Berkeley Labs (2016-2018) and a visiting professor at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore (2013). He is currently studying the optical properties of nanomaterials and nano-heterojunctions. In particular, he is exploring new types of junctions for alternative infrared solar cells. He has taught courses on Fundamental Physics at Politecnico di Milano since 2013, as well as at different schools of Engineering. He also currently teaches a course focused on the optical properties of nanosystems at the Ph.D. School of Physics at Politecnico di Milano. See less
