Dario Polli is an Italian physicist and academic, whose research interest include the development of innovative microscopy systems, especially in the field of coherent Raman scattering microscopy, ultrafast spectroscopy, Fourier-transform spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging. He is currently serving as a Full Professor of Physics at the Physics Department of the Politecnico di Milano.[1] Polli is also associated with the Italian CNR (National Research Council) with a research assignment.[2]

Early life and education

[edit]

Polli completed his Master's degree in electronics engineering cum laude at the Politecnico di Milano. He also holds a Master's degree in physical engineering from the École Centrale de Paris in France, which he obtained through the "TIME - Top Industrial Managers for Europe" project.

From 2002 to 2005, Polli pursued a Ph.D. in Physics at the Physics Department of the Politecnico di Milano. After completing his Ph.D., he joined the Physics Department as an Assistant Professor and later as Full Professor.

Career

[edit]

Polli currently heads a research group at Politecnico di Milano dedicated to the development of innovative label-free nonlinear optical microscopy systems for biological applications, such as coherent Raman scattering microscopy, second-harmonic imaging and two-photon-excited fluorescence.[3] His previous works focused on investigating the ultrafast dynamics of excited states in organic molecules, semiconductors, and nanomaterials.

Polli has been the principal investigator for several research grants, such as a European Research Council (ERC) consolidator grant "VIBRA",[4][5][6] two ERC Proof-of-Concept grants,[7] an Horizon-2020 project[8][9] and a European Innovation Council (EIC) Transition project.

Outside academia, Polli founded three startups: NIREOS,[10][11] Specto Photonics[12] and SunCubes.[13]

Awards and honours
