معرفی
Giuseppe Maruccio is a Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Physics "Ennio De Giorgi" at the University of Salento, where he is also the head of the Omnics Research Group. His research bridges physics, nanotechnology, and life sciences, focusing on spintronics, nanomagnetism, biosensors, and lab-on-a-chip systems. He is a key figure in European research infrastructure, serving as the Italian node coordinator for the ISABEL project (H2020-INFRADEV-871106).
His research interests include:
- Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
- Spintronics and Nanomagnetism
- Nanoelectronics and Hybrid Devices
- Biosensors and Lab-on-a-Chip
- Scanning Probe Microscopy/Spectroscopy
- Cross-disciplinary Physics and Life Sciences
The recent publications reflect a strong trend in interdisciplinary nanotechnology, particularly in merging physical sciences with biological applications. His work spans fundamental physics (e.g., wavefunction mapping) to applied technologies (e.g., biosensors), with consistent involvement in EU-funded collaborative projects. The keywords across articles emphasize magnetism, nanofabrication, sensing, and quantum phenomena, with subfields showing depth in device physics, molecular electronics, and biomedical integration.
Scientific awards and recognitions include:
- Excellence Award, City of Lecce (2016)
Maruccio has played significant advisory and leadership roles, including serving as Research Delegate for the Rector of the University of Salento (2014–2019), focusing on fundraising, research evaluation (VQR, SUA-RD), and industrial liaison. He has coordinated numerous EU proposals and contributed to large-scale instrumentation acquisition. He is actively involved in scientific dissemination, having co-founded the journal Ithaca, and serves on editorial boards of MDPI Sensors, Micromachines, and Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences. He is also a referee for top journals and funding agencies including Science, Nature Nanotechnology, and the ERC.
He leads the Omnics Research Group, a multidisciplinary team fostering exploratory research in cross-cutting areas from spintronics to genomics. The group is embedded within CNR-NANOTEC and collaborates extensively with international institutions. Future work is expected to expand in magnetism infrastructure, hybrid bio-nano devices, and EU research policy engagement.
