Federico Bisti

Federico Bisti is an Associate Professor at the University of L'Aquila, Italy, specializing in Experimental Physics (Scientific-disciplinary sector FIS/01). Based in Room 1133 of the “Renato Ricamo” Building, he conducts cutting-edge research using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) to investigate electronic structures of quantum materials. His contact details include email federico.bisti@univaq.it and phone +39 0862 433067.

Bisti’s research expertise centers on ARPES methodology and density functional theory (DFT) applications for interpreting experimental data. He contributed significantly to constructing the LOREA beamline at the ALBA synchrotron facility in Barcelona, Spain. Current research focuses on two-dimensional materials (including graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides), heterostructures, and topological semimetals (Dirac/Weyl systems). He leads the development of NavARP, an open-source Python package for ARPES data analysis available at https://fbisti.gitlab.io/navarp.

Analysis of his 2021-2025 publications reveals dominant themes in quantum material characterization: spin/charge density waves in chromium, Rashba effects in 2D alloys, doping mechanisms in graphene, and electronic properties of van der Waals crystals. His work bridges experimental spectroscopy with theoretical modeling, featuring instrumentation contributions like monochromator designs for synchrotron radiation. The research demonstrates consistent innovation in probing electronic band structures and topological phenomena.

Bisti maintains active collaboration with the ALBA synchrotron facility and leads the NavARP software project. His research group focuses on advancing ARPES techniques for quantum material studies, with strong emphasis on developing analytical tools for the international condensed matter physics community.
