Curriculum Vitae
Guido Faglia was born in 1965 and got in 1991 M.S. degree cum laude from the Polytechnic of Milan in electronics. In 1993 he was appointed Assistant Professor at the Gas Sensor Lab by the University of Brescia. In 1996 got the PhD on semiconductor gas sensors. Since 2000 he is Associate Professor in Experimental Physics at University of Brescia. In 2013 he got Italian Full Professorship habilitation as excellent in Condensed Matter Physics 02/B1. He is involved in the study of preparation of metal oxide semiconductors MOX as thin films and quasi monodimensional nanostructures for gas sensing, energy (solar cells, thermoelectrics), opto-electronic applications (LEDs) and nanomedicine. He has been involved in European Commission Projects since 1992 (Project ESPRIT No. 6374) in basic and applied physics research on semiconductors and their application in an interdisciplinary field as biochemical sensing. He has a relevant working experience with many international institutions like EC, NATO, European Space Agency ESA, INTAS.
