SPEAKER'S PROFILES
Fabio Beltram
Fabio
Beltram obtained
Doctor Degrees in Physics and in Electronic Engineering. He carried out
research activity at Bell Laboratories (Murray Hill, NJ, USA) until
1992 when he moved to the Scuola Normale Superiore (Pisa, Italy) where he
is now Professor of Physics of Matter and Director of the Nanoscience
Laboratory (Laboratorio NEST).
At present he is Director of Scuola
Normale Superiore and Vice President of Fondazione Toscana Life Sciences.
Fabio Beltram is Fellow of the American Physical Society and
Senior Member of IEEE.
Fabio Beltram and his group carry our
research work in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology with a
rather broad spectrum of topics. His results appeared in about three
hundred publications in international journals and patents. He has always
worked on the physics and applications of semiconductor and
hybrid superconductor-semiconductor nanostructures. Increasingly in the
last years Fabio Beltram has carried out research activity in the field
of molecular biophysics in order to apply his expertise in nanotechnology
and in the engineering of nanostructures to significant issues in
nanobiotechnology and biomedicine.
Topics presently investigated include:
coherent transport in semiconductor and hybrid nanostructures, logic gates
for quantum computation, THz laser sources. In the context of
molecular biophysics main lines include the design and exploitation of
molecular-medicine vectors, biosensors, and novel mutants of green
fluorescent proteins for single-molecule proteomics in live cells.
