Davide Gatti received his M.Sc. degree in Electronic Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2004 and his Ph.D. in Physics from the same institution in 2008. After a postdoctoral research period at the Department of Physics, he was appointed as a Researcher in 2010 and, since 2019, has been an Associate Professor at the Department of Physics of Politecnico di Milano.

His research focuses on high-resolution molecular spectroscopy using optical frequency combs, encompassing both dual-comb spectroscopy and other advanced configurations. These techniques enable rapid, broadband and high-sensitivity measurements for the identification and quantification of gas-phase molecular species, with applications in combustion, environmental monitoring and chemical kinetics in astrophysical contexts.

He is also involved in the European ERC project TROPHY (ulTRafast hOlograPHic FT-IR microscopY), dedicated to the development of innovative photothermal and label-free vibrational microscopy techniques for diagnostic and materials analysis applications.

He teaches General Physics and Experimental Physics courses for the Bachelor’s Degrees in Building Engineering-Architecture and Industrial Production Engineering at Politecnico di Milano.
