Giacomo Claudio Ghiringhelli

Giacomo Claudio Ghiringhelli is a Full Professor at the Department of Physics of Politecnico di Milano. His research focuses on condensed matter physics, particularly in the study of superconductivity, quantum materials, and advanced X-ray spectroscopic techniques. He is involved in designing and utilizing cutting-edge instruments like the European XFEL for materials characterization. His work spans cuprate superconductors, nickelates, and other quantum materials, emphasizing electronic structure, magnetic ordering, and phase transitions. Collaborations include CNR-SPIN and international consortia.

His research interests include high-temperature superconductivity, electronic correlations, charge density waves, and the application of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) to probe material properties. He has contributed to understanding the origins of magnetism in complex oxides and the interplay between structure, magnetism, and superconductivity.

Publications highlight advancements in instrumentation (e.g., Heisenberg-RIXS at European XFEL) and discoveries in material behavior, such as superconductivity in PrNiO2 nickelates and quantum criticality in cuprates. His work bridges experimental and theoretical approaches to unravel electronic phenomena in solids.
