Stefano BOSCARINO

Stefano Boscarino is a Fixed-Term Assistant Professor (RTD-a) of Experimental Physics of Matter and Applications. He obtained a PhD in Materials Science and Technology from the University of Catania in 2015. His research focuses on nanomaterials for energy applications, with particular emphasis on photovoltaics and hydrogen production through water splitting. His research activity combines synthesis techniques, such as laser ablation and sputtering, with electrical, optical, and structural characterization of metallic and metal oxide nanostructures and transparent conductive oxide thin films.

He has gained postgraduate and postdoctoral research experience at the Department of Physics and Astronomy (UniCt), as well as at the CNR – Institute for Microelectronics and Microsystems (IMM) and the Sicilian Center for Nuclear Physics and Structure of Matter (CSFNSM), where he contributed, respectively, to the development of plasmonic and conductive structures for light harvesting in solar cells,  nanostructured UV sensors and synthesis and characterization of transparent electrodes for photovoltaics application  .

His work integrates fundamental research, technology transfer, and scientific dissemination through presentations (invited, oral and poster) at national and international conference and publications in international peer-reviewed journals, focusing on energy transition and innovative materials for photovoltaic applications and sustainable hydrogen production.
