Matteo Aldo Luigi PORRO

Matteo Aldo Luigi PORRO is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Sciences and Nanosystems at Ca' Foscari University of Venice. He is actively engaged in teaching and research, with a focus on electronics and semiconductor-based radiation detection systems. His office is located in room 612 of the ALFA building on the scientific campus via Torino.

Research Interests: PORRO specializes in the design and testing of microelectronic circuits for radiation detectors, particularly in mixed-signal CMOS design and semiconductor sensor modeling. His work supports advanced instrumentation for synchrotron and X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) applications, including DEPFET sensors and high-speed data acquisition systems.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend in developing cutting-edge detector technologies for high-energy physics and photon science, particularly in the context of the DSSC camera and European XFEL. These works span electronics, detector physics, and real-time data processing, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to advanced instrumentation.
