Alessandro Tomasino

Post-Doc Fellow

[email protected]

Alessandro Tomasino started his studies in Electronics Engineering at the University of Palermo (Italy) in 2006, gaining its Bachelor Degree (Magna cum Laude) in February 2010. He received its Master Degree (Magna cum Laude) in Electronics and Photonics Engineering in May 2012, from the University of Palermo (Palermo, Italy), defending an experimental thesis titled “Implementation of numerical algorithms to study and simulate optical propagation problems”. In 2013, he worked for one year as Research Collaborator at the University of Palermo, joining the group of Prof. Busacca and dealing with the implementation of an electronic embedded system for functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), with applications within the biomedical area.

In January 2014, he started his PhD studies with a co-supervised thesis between Prof. Busacca and Prof. Morandotti at the INRS-EMT about the design and characterization of new class of integrated devices for THz radiations for imaging and telecommunications.
