Giorgio Ferrari graduated with honors in Electronics Engineering in 1999 at the Politecnico di Milano, where he subsequently obtained his Ph.D. in Information Engineering in 2003. From 2005 to 2021, he was a researcher at the Department of Electronics of the Politecnico di Milano. Since 2022, he has been an associate professor in the Department of Physics of the same university. His research activity aims to design high-performance electronic instruments to address the measurement and information processing challenges posed by nanoscience. He has contributed to the implementation of a new current-sensing atomic force microscope capable of performing quantitative capacitance measurements on nanometric areas. He is the co-inventor of a "transparent" light sensor to measure the optical power at each point of a complex integrated photonic circuit without disturbing it, allowing the implementation of control systems to stabilize the operating point of the photonic devices. He also designs cryogenic electronic systems for the operation of quantum computers based on semiconductor qubits. Recently, the research activity has also focused on the development of neuromorphic systems for ultra-low power (nW) information processing.
