Michele Goano

Michele Goano is a Full Professor in the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications (DET) at the Polytechnic University of Turin. He serves as Coordinator of the Doctoral School in Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering and is a member of both the PhotoNext Interdepartmental Center for Applied Photonics and the Doctoral School Council. His contact information includes phone number +39 0110904142 and email michele.goano@polito.it.

Professor Goano's research spans multiple areas of optoelectronics and semiconductor physics. His primary interests include multiscale physics-based modeling of optoelectronic devices, far-infrared image sensor design, Si and III-V photonic integrated circuits, multiphysics CAD of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), efficiency and reliability of visible and UV light-emitting diodes, and full-band Monte Carlo electron transport simulation. His work connects fundamental semiconductor physics with practical device applications, particularly in photonics and optoelectronics.

His publication record shows consistent contributions to the field since the early 2000s, with recent work focusing on silicon photonics, infrared detectors, and advanced modeling of LED efficiency issues. The publications demonstrate a progression from fundamental band structure calculations to applied device modeling and optimization, with strong industry connections through commercial research contracts.

Professor Goano actively supervises numerous PhD students across multiple research areas including radiation detectors, silicon photomultipliers, photonic integrated circuits, and semiconductor device modeling. He has secured significant research funding through both competitive international grants and commercial research contracts, particularly in the areas of infrared detector technology and silicon photonics.

He is a member of the Microwave and Optoelectronics Group (MOG) within DET and has coordinated the Doctoral School in Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering for multiple cycles. His teaching portfolio includes courses on semiconductor device CAD, electronic transport in semiconductors, and specialized topics like VCSELs.
