Biography

Marco Liscidini received the Ph.D degree in physics from the University of Pavia (Italy) 2006, with a dissertation entitled "Nonlinear optical properties of planar microcavities and photonic crystal slabs". From 2007 to 2009, he was Post-Doctoral Fellow in the group of Prof. J. E. Sipe at the Department of Physics of the University of Toronto, Canada. He is currently Associate Professor at the Department of Physics of the University of Pavia, and he serves as technical advisor to Xanadu Quantum Technologies Inc, Toronto, Canada. His research activity is focused on the theoretical study and modelling of the light-­matter interaction in micro-­ and nano­structures. He works in several areas of photonics, including classical and quantum nonlinear optics, spontaneous emission, plasmon and QW-exciton polaritons, optical sensing and bio-sensing, and photovoltaic effects. His theoretical research activity is in strong collaboration with experimental groups and in the framework of national, European, US, and Canadian research programs.
