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. Scientific Service and Recognition: Chair, Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) Detector Advisory Committee, Stanford, USA Topic Convener, IEEE NSS MIC Conference 2022 (Milan) and 2021 (Yokohama) – Session: Synchrotron Radiation, Accelerator, FEL and Beamline Instrumentation Reviewer for U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) BES Accelerator and Detector Research Program (2022) Reviewer for NSERC Discovery Grants, Canada (2014) Advising and Grants: While no formal students are listed, PORRO leads significant research initiatives, including the development of multi-channel CMOS ASICs for semiconductor detectors and ultra-fast, low-noise X-ray cameras for XFELs. He participates in international collaborations and has contributed to major instrumentation efforts at facilities like the European XFEL and SLAC. Labs and Teams: He is involved in the research lines of 'Physics of Materials' and 'Informatics' within his department and contributes to detector development teams for large-scale photon science facilities. His role as Laboratory Safety Officer (Preposto di Laboratorio) indicates active management of laboratory operations.
