Carlo Ricciardi

Carlo Ricciardi was born in 1975. In 2000 he graduated in Physics at University of Torino (110/110 cum laude) and in 2004 he got the Ph.D. in Physics at Politecnico di Torino (PoliTO).

He was hired first as permanent Assistant Professor (Ricercatore a Tempo Indeterminato – RTI) in 2007, then as Associate Professor in 2014 and finally in 2023 as Full Professor at PoliTO, where he holds the class of “Physics of NanoBioSystems” and "General Physics II".

He has been Visiting Scientist at the Center of Integrated Nanomechanical Systems (COINS) of University of California, Berkeley in 2007 and visiting Professor at EPFL, Switzerland in 2017.

Since October 2018, C. Ricciardi is the Coordinator of the International Master's Degree (Laurea Magistrale) in “Nanotechnologies for ICTs” at Politecnico di Torino.

C. Ricciardi is the PI of NaMeS group at Politecnico di Torino, whose main research activities refer to bio-inspired nanodevices as: i) Memristive nanodevices for unconventional computing; ii) Nano-mechanical devices for innovative biological and chemical sensing.

C. Ricciardi is co-author of more than 130 papers on international peer-reviewed journals with impact factor (40% in the last five years), among which one Nature Materials, four Nature Communications, four Biosensors and Bioelectronics as first, corresponding and/or last author. His H-factor is 33, with more than 4k citations (Google Scholar). He is co-inventor of two international patents.

C. Ricciardi is referee of some of the most important journals such as Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Electronics, Advanced Materials, etc.

C. Ricciardi has international collaborations (confirmed by publications and/or grants) with colleagues from outstanding institutions such as Stanford University, Caltech, ETH, EPFL, IBM Research. He acts as reviewer for international research agencies like EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, UK), NWO (Dutch Research Council), SNSF (Swiss National Science Foundation) and others.

C. Ricciardi was/is involved in many national and international projects with companies, R&D centers and public institutions, for a global amount close to 3M€.
