Marco Carvelli
Post-Doc researcher
Bio
Marco Carvelli was born in Rho (MI), Italy, on August 26, 1983. He spent most of his childhood and youth in Saronno (VA), Italy. After obtaining his high school degree from liceo scientifico “G. B. Grassi” in Saronno (VA) he studied physics engineering at Politecnico di Milano, Italy, with major in nano-optics and photonics. He obtained his bachelor degree in July 2005 with a thesis on in vivo absorption and scattering spectroscopy of human tissues, after an internship in the department of physics of Politecnico di Milano.
He received his master degree in physics engineering in December 2007; his master thesis project consisted of the manufacturing and development of organic distributed-feedback lasers. The project was carried out in the department of physics of Politecnico di Milano, under the supervision of prof. dr. Guglielmo Lanzani. The main results of this work were published as part of a book chapter in “Ultrafast dynamics and laser action of organic semiconductors”, Z. V. Vardeny ed., Taylor and Francis Group (USA).
In January 2008 he moved to Eindhoven, The Netherlands, where he started his PhD research in the group Molecular Materials and Nanosystems, led by prof. dr. ir. René Janssen. He performed his research on the photophysics of organic light-emitting diodes at Philips Research Eindhoven, under the supervision of prof. dr. Reinder Coehoorn. The project was part of the research program of the Dutch Polymer Institute (DPI). The results of that research have been published in top scientific journals: Nature Photonics, Physicsl Review B and Journal of Applied Physics. Some of these results were also presented at national symposia and international conferences in Eindhoven, Bruxelles (Belgium), Winterthur (Switzerland), Ann Arbor (USA), Copenhagen (Denmark), Barcelona (Spain). From February 2008 to February 2011 he took active part in the European 7th framework project AEVIOM. He has been referee for top scientific journals: Nature Photonics, Organic Electronics and Journal of Applied Physics. During his PhD research period he supervised students during their internship or master thesis project.
In February 2012 he received the PhD title from the Eindhoven University of Technology and since than he is appointed by the Italian Institute of Technology as a Junior PostDoc in the Center for Nanoscience and Technology @PoliMi in Milan (Italy). The focus of his research is the development and optimization of scalable organic solar cells printing techniques.
