Biography

Daniele Ancora received his B.S. and M.S. at the Department of Physics of La Sapienza Università di Roma. He completed his Ph.D. studies at the Department of Material Science and Technology at the University of Crete. During this period he was a Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher (MSCA-ITN, g.a.: 317526) at the Foundation for Reseearch and Technology Hellas (IESL-FORTH). He was Post-Doc at Institute of Nanotechnology at Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR-NANOTEC) in Rome. He is currently running a Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (MSCA-IF, g.a.: 799230) as a Post-Doc at the Department of Physics of Politecnico di Milano. His research interests span from disordered photonics to biomedical optics in diffusive regime at the interface between computational, theoretical and experimental imaging.
