Monica Bollani

Monica Bollani, is a researcher at IFN in LNESS laboratory (Como, Italy). She obtained a European PhD in 2000 in Materials Physics (Marseille,France) and until 2004, she moved to a research post-doc position targeting the SiGe epitaxial growth at the ETH in Zurich (CH). Then she became a researcher at CNR in Italy working in the semiconductor growth and, starting form 2009, in optical and electron-beam lithography group in L-NESS, mainly dedicated to nano- fabrication of low-dimensional semiconductor systems. She is responsible of the nano and microfabrication activity on semiconductor materials at LNESS laboratory. She has a broad and multi-disciplinary education integrated by an extended experience in sensors fabrication, in photonics and plasmonic, project management and lab and clean room operations. She was P.I. for the European FET OPEN project “NARCISO”, an applied-oriented photonic research projects ; she was CNR responsible of European Marie Curie project (Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance in doped semiconductor nanocrystals). Actually she is CNR responsible of the Italian PRIN project (NOnlinear photonics with MEtal-less Nanoantennas and metasurfaces); she is nanofabrication responsible in an italian ASI project on integrated source of single photons in silicon for quantum communications in space, and she is P.I. of the Italian PRIN PNRR project .

Dr. Bollani has also been active in the dissemination area by organizing for several photonic science introduction events to students at primary and secondary schools in Milan or at MEETmeTONIGHT event in Milano. Starting from 2017, she is responsible of Pint of Science events in Milano, also obtaining the involvement and funding of private companies and associations.
