Short bio:

Alberto Tosi

Associate Professor at Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria (DEIB)

He received his Master’s degree in electronics engineering and his PhD degree in information technology engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2001 and 2005, respectively. He was Assistant Professor from 2006 to 2014 and has been an Associate Professor of Electronics since 2014, both at Politecnico di Milano. In 2004, he was a Student with the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY, working on optical testing of CMOS circuits.

He designs, develops and exploits silicon, InGaAs/InP and Ge-on-Si Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPADs). He works on arrays of SPADs for 2D and 3D applications, on silicon photomultipliers and on time-correlated single-photon counting electronics. He develops single-photon counting modules and time-to-digital converters for high-resolution high-throughput applications. In collaboration with other research groups, he develops new applications of single-photon counting in various fields, from biomedicine to secure communications, from material science to LIDAR.

He has been the principal investigator for POLIMI – DEIB in four EC funded projects, one DARPA funded project and one ESA funded project. He is co-founder of the start-up company pioNIRS s.r.l. (www.pionirs.com). He is co-author of more than 240 papers on peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings, and he is the co-inventor of 3 patents and 2 patent applications. His H-index is 39 (according to Scopus, author ID 35499994500).
