Scaccabarozzi Alberto

Researcher

I am currently an Assistant Professor (Tenure Track Researcher – RTT) in the Department of Physics at Politecnico di Milano. I received my PhD from Imperial College London (UK) in 2017, where I worked under the supervision of Prof. Natalie Stingelin. My PhD research, strongly materials science oriented, focused on the investigation of structural and optoelectronic properties of semiconducting:insulating polymer blends.


Following my doctoral studies, I held postdoctoral appointments at the Center for Nanoscience and Technology (CNST) of the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Milan (Italy) in Dr. Mario Caironi’s group, and at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia, in Prof. Thomas D. Anthopoulos' group. During these years, I expanded my research interest towards electronic device fabrication and device physics, particularly in the realm of Organic Field-Effect Transistors (OFETs).


Currently, my research interests encompass the broad field of organic electronics, with a focus on understanding structure-processing-property relationships of organic semiconductors for a wide range of devices. More recently, I have been expanding my research into bioelectronics, exploring the interface between organic semiconductors and living cells. This includes studying the electronic properties of electrically active bacteria and their potential integration into optoelectronic devices, bridging the gap between organic electronics and biological systems.
