Lorenzo Pavesi (born 21 November 1961) is an Italian physicist renowned for his contributions to silicon photonics and semiconductor optoelectronics. He is a Professor of Experimental Physics at the University of Trento, where he leads the Nanoscience Laboratory.

Early life and education

[edit]

Pavesi earned his Ph.D. in Physics in 1990 from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland.

Academic career

[edit]

In 1990, Pavesi began his academic career at the University of Trento as an Assistant Professor. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 1999 and became a Full Professor in 2002. He established the university's research activities in semiconductor optoelectronics and was instrumental in developing laboratories focused on semiconductor optoelectronis, integrated photonics and advanced material treatments.

He has supervised over 42 Ph.D. students and more than 50 Master's thesis students.[1] His research primarily focuses on silicon-based photonics, exploring the convergence of photonics and electronics. His interests included active photonic devices integrated into silicon, optical sensors, biosensors, solar cells, integrated quantum photonics, and neuromorphic photonics.

Research and publications

[edit]

A leading figure in silicon photonics, Pavesi has authored or co-authored over 500 papers and holds nine patents. He has edited more than 15 books and authored two. His work has garnered significant recognition, with an h-index of 65 according to Scopus and Web of Science, and 81 according to Google Scholar.

Professional affiliations and honors

[edit]

Pavesi is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE), the [[Asia-Pacific Artificial Intelligence Association]] (AAIA) and the Italian Physical Society (SIF). He founded the IEEE Italian Chapter on Nanotechnology, chair the IEEE Photonics Society task force on Emerging Technology and has been actively involved in organizing international conferences, workshops, and schools.

In 2001, he was awarded the title of Cavaliere by the Italian President for scientific merit. In 2010 and 2011, he was elected Distinguished Speaker of the IEEE Photonics Society.

Recent recognition

[edit]

In November 2024, Pavesi was awarded the title of Honorary Professor by the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST) in China. This honor recognizes his significant contributions to education and scientific research, particularly in the fields of photonics and artificial intelligence.
