Roberto Di Capua

Roberto Di Capua is an Associate Professor affiliated with the CNR Institute for SuPerconductors, INnovative materials, and devices in Naples, Italy. His research focuses on advanced materials science, including graphene-like materials, oxide interfaces, superconductivity, and nanotechnology. He explores applications in energy materials, biomedical engineering, and environmental chemistry, such as developing biocompatible bio-interfaces and sustainable waste-to-material solutions.

His studies on two-dimensional electron systems, ferromagnetic materials, and quantum phenomena contribute to the understanding of electronic and spin properties in novel heterostructures. He also investigates practical applications in sports biomechanics, analyzing gait variability and footwear effects on motor performance.

Key research areas include hybrid materials synthesis (e.g., metal-organic frameworks), surface reconstructions in SrTiO3 systems, and the interplay of spin-orbit coupling in magnetic materials. His work bridges fundamental physics with applied technologies, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to material innovation.
