Biography
Marco Clementi is currently Assistant Professor (RTDa) of optics and photonics at the Department of Physics, University of Pavia. He graduated with honours in Electronic Engineering at the University of Pavia in 2016 and successively joined the Quantum Photonics Laboratory at the Department of Physics as a PhD student, working on nonlinear and quantum optics in photonic crystal microcavities. He obtained his PhD in Physics in 2020 and continued working as a postdoctoral researcher at Qlab, investigating nonlinear microresonators as integrated sources of nonlclassical states of light, in the framework of the European QuantERA project "CUSPIDOR" and the Italian project "Dipartimenti di Eccellenza". In 2021, he moved to the Photonic Systems Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) to pursue a post-doc in integrated nonlinear photonics, investigating second-order nonlinear devices in silicon nitride technology in the framework of the ERC project "PISSARRO". He carried out this activity until 2024, when he returned to Qlab. His research interests focus on nonlinear and quantum processes in integrated photonic devices, both from a fundamental perspective and for applications to classical and quantum photonic technology.
