Giorgio E. Bonacchini is Associate Professor in Electronics at the Department of Information Engineering. Born in Verona in 1989, he studied Electronics Engineering and Nuclear Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, with a research thesis on graphene photonics developed at the University of Cambridge (2013-2014). In 2018, he received a PhD in Physics from PoliMi, working with M. Caironi and G. Lanzani at the Center for Nano Science and Technology (Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia). His research activities focused on the investigation of the electronic transport properties of exotic materials, on the realization of printed edible electronic devices, and on cell-sensing platforms based on carbon nanotubes. After the PhD, he became a post-doc in the group of F. Omenetto at Tufts University (2018-2020), where he demonstrated the first microwave metadevice based on organic semiconductors. In July 2020, he joined the Salleo Group at Stanford University as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Global Fellow, where he focused on the realization of untethered biosensing platforms based on tunable microwave systems. In 2022, he returned to the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia as a Researcher, where he studied the applicability of organic electronic materials in microwave and terahertz applications. He was awarded an ERC StG 2023 for the project MiMETIC, which aims at further exploring the use of unconventional semiconductors in microwave technologies.
