معرفی
Giuseppe Barillaro is an Associate Professor at the Information Engineering Department of the University of Pisa, leading a research group focused on micro and nanostructured materials, devices, and systems for applications in (nano)photonics, microelectronics, (bio)sensing, and (nano)medicine. His work bridges advanced fabrication techniques with biomedical and environmental sensing solutions.
- Research Themes:
- Development of biodegradable and implantable sensing systems
- Microfabrication using silicon electrochemical micromachining (ECM) technology
- Optofluidic photonic crystal microsystems
- Microneedles for transdermal biosensing
- 3D microincubators for cell analysis
- Key Collaborations: Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), Scuola Normale Superiore, and international institutions in materials science and biomedical engineering.
Article Trends: His recent publications emphasize nanoscale materials engineering (porous silicon, conducting polymers, photonic crystals) for ultra-sensitive biosensing, biodegradable medical devices, and advanced optical systems. Techniques include 4D printing, in-situ nanoassembly, and ECM-based silicon structuring.
- Scientific Leadership:
- Project Coordinator for EIC PathFinder Open project RESORB (EC-funded)
- Marie-Curie fellowships for team members
- Collaborations with CNR-IEIIT, STMicroelectronics, and Baxter International Inc.
Education & Advising: He mentors PhD and Master’s students in Biomedical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, and Chemistry, with former advisees now at institutions like the Max Planck Institute and Molecular Foundry Berkeley Lab. Teaching includes Biomedical Electronics instrumentation.
- Labs & Teams:
- Leads a multidisciplinary group at University of Pisa
- Collaborates with Prof. S. Merlo (University of Pavia) and Dr. G. Mazzini (CNR-IGM Pavia)
