Biography

Federico Picollo was awarded a PhD in Science and Technology of Materials and Nanosystems in 2012. From 2012 to 2013, he held a Post-Doctoral fellowship at the Physics department of the University of Torino developing ion beam lithography of diamond. From 2014 to 2015 was awarded a grant for young scientist devoted to diamond nanofabrication for realization of multi-electrode array for neuron networks sensing funded by the Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN). During 2016, he held a Post-Doctoral fellowship at the Physics department of the University of Torino, to realize bio-sensors employing the techniques that he had previously developed. At the present, he is the PI of an INFN biannual project (2017-2018) on ion beam fabrication of diamond for particle and biosignals detection and is coordinator of an experiment at INFN - National Laboratories of Legnaro, which guarantees the access to MeV ion beam facility. Adjunct professor of the Bachelor’s degree in Science and Technology of Materials at the University of Turin.
