Dr. Andrea Ciavatti received the Ph.D in Physics (2015) at the University of Bologna, working on Transport Properties and Novel Sensing Applications of Organic Semiconducting Crystals. He was Visiting Scientist (2013) at University of Surrey (UK) working with Prof. P. Sellin on the advanced characterization of Organic Single Crystals for direct detectors of X-rays, alpha particles and neutrons. He was Visiting Scientist (2014) at D-MAVT, ETH, Zurich working with Prof. D. Norris and Dr. D. Braga on the investigation of charge carrier transport properties of FETs based on organic crystalline ultra-thin films. Among 2017 and 2018 he moved at NEST Laboratory in Pisa, as Researcher of “Istituto di Nanoscienze–CNR” working on the design and fabrication of THz quantum cascade lasers. He then moves back to Bologna, and, from 2020 he is technical manager at Advanced Sensing Laboratory of the OPH Lab at the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Since 2022 he is Adjunct Professor at University of Bologna.

His research interests concern the electrical and photonic characterization of advanced materials and devices: flexible and large-area sensors for ionizing radiations based on organic and hybrid perovskite materials. Recently, he is participating to the project IRIS (“Large area, wearable Ionizing Radiation dosimeters for real-tIme crew perSonal monitoring”) with the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) and founded by the Italian Space Agency (ASI).
