Paolo Milani

Paolo Milani is Full Professor at the Department of Physics of the University of Milano. He graduated in Physics from the University of Pavia (Italy) in 1984 and he received his Docteur es Sciences (PhD) in 1991 from the Ecole Polytechnique Federale of Lausanne. He founded in 1992 the Molecular Beams and Nanocrystalline Materials Laboratory at the University of Milano. His research focuses on cluster-assembled nanostructured materials for neuromorphic systems, stretchable electronics, biomedicine, soft robotics. He has published more than 250 papers on refereed journals, several review papers and a monograph on supersonic cluster beam deposition for the synthesis of nanostructured thin films. Milani is the recipient of the U. Campisano Award from the Italian Institute for the Physics of Matter in 2000 for his contributions to the field of the synthesis and characterization of nanostructured materials. In 2006 he received the L. Tartufari Prize awarded by the Lincei National Academy. Currently, Milani serves as Director of the Interdisciplinary Center for Nanostructured Materials and Interfaces of the University of Milano. He is co-editor of the Springer book series Carbon Materials Chemistry and Physics, regional editor for Europe of the Journal of Nanoparticle Research, member of the editorial boards of Advances in Physics X, KONA Powder and Particle Journal, and Journal of Aerosol Science. He holds twenty patents in the field of nanotechnology and he is co-founder of four companies: TETHIS spa active in the field of nanostructured devices for cancer diagnostics, WISE srl producing implantable electrodes for neuromodulation, EOS srl producing optical diagnostic systems for nanoparticles in complex biological fluids, MANIFATTURA MACCHINE SOFFICI srl producing bio-based materials for interior design and acoustic wallcoverings.
