Daniele M. Trucchi
Ph.D.
Team Leader
Ph.D. in Electronic Engineering. He organized the technical-scientific activity of the EU Project G5RD-CT01-00603 for CNR. He designed, developed and evaluated the performance of diamond-based UV, X-ray, γ radiation detectors, innovative electron multipliers, nuclear- and thermal-to-electric energy converters. In charge at IMIP for R&D on optoelectronic and electronic devices. Since 2010 he manages at IMIP the activities of "Carbon-based Materials & Devices for Energy and Environment" and of the external FP7 project “E2PHEST2US” - GA241270 and of the industrial project “Integration of Diamond Detectors for Environmental Monitoring”. Author of about 25 papers on refereed ISI international scientific journals. More...

Emilia Cappelli
Senior Researcher
PLD Deposition
Background in Physical-Chemistry. In 1976 she reached the Snam Progetti Corp. Res. Labs, where directed the biochemical lab. In 1984 she moved to the Solid State Physics Dept. at EniRicerche SpA where started working as group leader in the project “New Ceramic Materials”. Scientific coordinator of the BRITE project 1279-3-85, in 1989 she started the first Italian research activity on CVD diamond. Organizer of the 4th Int. Conf. on Diamond & Other Carbon Materials, she is author of 1 US patent and, since 1990, of about 75 international scientific papers.
Stefano Orlando
Laser Ablation
Physicist. Since 1992 he has been working at CNR on laser-matter interaction using pulsed lasers. In 1996 he received the “Young Scientist Award” of the E-MRS. Since 2003 he has been focussing his studies on ultrashort laser pulses and, nowadays, he is working at CNR-IMIP on amplified femtosecond laser systems. In 2009 he has been co-organizer of symposium Q of E-MRS Spring Meeting. He is co-author of more than 100 scientific papers published in international journals and proceeding books.
