Domenico De Ceglia (domenico.deceglia@unipd.it)

He received his “Laurea” and PhD degrees in Electronic Engineering from Politecnico di Bari in 2003 and 2007, respectively. As a graduate student, he was a visiting scholar at the US Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) at Redstone Arsenal, AL (USA). After earning his PhD degree, he worked in the private sector as a consultant at Altran Italia S.p.A (Milan, Italy). From 2009 to 2012 he was a research scientist at Aegis Technologies Inc. in Huntsville (AL) – USA, working on new concepts for photovoltaic devices, plasmonic beam steering, hydrogen sensors, nonlinear optical effects in plasmonic and nanophotonic structures.

In 2012 he was awarded with the National Research Council Fellowship by the US National Academies. From 2012 to 2017, he worked as a Senior Research Associate at the Charles M. Bowden Laboratory of US Army AMRDEC, Redstone Arsenal (AL) – USA. In this role, he investigated light-matter interactions at the nanoscale, plasmonic platforms for SERS chemical and biosensors, tunable and nonlinear metamaterial devices, quantum tunnelling in sub-nanometric plasmonic structures, nanoscale nonlinear optical devices, photonic devices based on graphene and other 2D materials.

In December 2017, Domenico became Associate Professor of “Electromagnetic Fields” at the Department of Information Engineering of University of Padova, where he currently teaches “Biophotonics”, “Nanophotonics” and “Propagazione guidata e dispositivi”. He will join the Department of Information engineering of Univerisity of Brescia (Italy) on November 2021.

The research interests of Domenico de Ceglia are in the area of optics and photonics, with emphasis on: nanophotonic devices for sensing, detection, imaging, telecommunications, and energy harvesting, metamaterials and metasurfaces for beam forming and steering at both RF and optical frequencies, photonics of 2D materials, nonlinear optics for biophotonic applications, nano- and quantum plasmonics, epsilon-near zero materials. Domenico has authored and co-authored 150 papers in peer-reviewed journals and proceedings of international conferences. He is co-author of 3 book chapters on metamaterials, plasmonics and effective medium theories, and he is the co-inventor of two United States patents.

Marco Gandolfi (marco.gandolfi1@unibs.it)

He was born in Manerbio (BS, Italy) on 4th August 1988. He is currently an Assistant Professor (RTDa) at Department of Information Engineering, in Brescia, Italy. He is also associated with National Research Council, National Institute of Optics (CNR-INO).

He obtained a Bachelor degree cum laude in Mathematics in 2011, a Bachelor degree cum laude in Physics in 2012, and a Master degree cum laude in Physics in 2014. He received his Ph.D. in Science, Physics at KU Leuven University, Belgium in 2019. The dissertation concerned the aspects of ultrafast thermomechanics at the nanoscale. The Ph.D. project was joined with Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Brescia, Italy. During the Ph.D., he spent 9 months visiting the FemtoNanoOptics group, Université Lyon 1 (France), to work on a joint research project.

From 2019 to 2021 he was Postdoc Researcher at National Research Council, National Institute of Optics (CNR-INO), and at Department of Information Engineering, in Brescia, Italy.

Dr. Gandolfi is author of 21 peer-reviewed papers and is a referee for several international journals. His research topics cover the opto-thermo-mechanical modeling of nano-objects and nanostructures. He is currently working on the project OMEN.
