Umea University

Nicolò (m) holds a tenure-track professorship and is the head of the ‘Ultrafast Nanophotonics and Advanced Functional Materials’ Group at the Department of Physics, Umeå University (Sweden) supported by the Swedish Research Council, the European Innovation Council, the Faculty of Science and Technology and the Kempe Foundations. Currently, he is also a visiting researcher and group leader at the Department of Physics and Materials Science, University of Luxembourg. Nicolò performed his PhD research at CIC nanoGUNE (Spain) and got his PhD in Physics of Nanostructures and Advanced Materials from the University of the Basque Country in 2016. In 2015, he received the “Piero Brovetto” Award from the Italian Physical Society for “his contributions in the fields of nanomagnetism and nanooptics and the study of the physical properties of magnetoplasmonic nanoantennas and their application in bio-sensing”. Until now, he was able to collect more than 2.5 M€ to fund his research. In 2022, he became a Fellow of the Young Academy of Europe, an association of top young researchers in Europe with logistic and financial support from COST. Nicolò’s research span a broad range of fundamental and applied aspects of natural sciences, with a special focus on both the fundamental and applied aspects of light-matter interactions in advanced and multifunctional nano- and meta-materials for opto-electronics and information processing, photochemistry and biotechnology.
