RESEARCH
I am investigating
the conductivity, the dielectric properties and the radiation hardness (to
gamma rays and ionizing particles) of polymers, like polyethylene and
polypropylene, filled with carbon nanotubes, and of semiconductor materials and
devices.
I am also
collaborating with the group of Salerno University responsible for the time of
flight (TOF) detector of the ALICE experiment at Large Hadron Collider of CERN.
The TOF is a complex detector based on the MRPC technology, able to identify
charged particles by measuring their time of flight with an accuracy better
than 100ps. I am responsible for the design and the realization of the low and
high voltage distribution system.
Together with a
group of physicists and engineers of Salerno University and ENEA (Italian
National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Environment) I am working to
the development of the technology of amorphous silicon deposited on glass or
polymer sheets and re-crystallized by an excimer laser for the production of
thin film transistor (TFT) and organic light emitting diodes (OLED).
At Salerno
University, I am technical responsible of a recently installed electronic
laboratory, equipped with a broad range and of software tools and of test and
measurement instruments, which is dedicated to material and device electrical
characterization and to digital logic (CPLD and FPGA) programming.
I have been
working on the process development of a new 90 nm silicon nitride flash memory.
This memory, known as NROM, is a non volatile device able to store two bits in
a single cell, by trapping charges in two distinct physical locations of a
storage medium consisting of an oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) stack.
I have transferred
a BICMOS process in production, solved several process and electrical issues
and achieved a very high yield.
From 92 to 97, I
have been collaborating with CHORUS, an experiment at CERN
searching for
neutrino oscillations. I was first involved in the set-up of the detector, then
in the statistical analysis of data. I was also responsible for off-line
software maintenance.
For several years,
I have been working at the Physics Department of Salerno University in the
Nuclear Emulsion Group, making research in image analysis and automatic nuclear
emulsion microscopy. The main achievement of the group has been the development
of an automatic system able to analyse video images of particle interactions in
nuclear emulsions. Such system, constituted by an advanced optical microscope
driven by a personal computer, is nowadays extensively used in High Energy
Physics.
