EDUCATION AND SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY
Michele Saba holds a physics degree (1997) from the University of Cagliari and a PhD in physics (2001) from Ecole Polythechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland (EPFL) for work on ultrafast spectroscopy of semiconductor microcavities, in the group of Benoit Deveaud. He has been a postdoc at MIT (2003), working on Bose-Einstein condensates of atoms in the group of Wolfgang Ketterle. Since 2006 he has been working in Cagliari, first as contract professor, then as staff researcher and since 2014 as associate professor in experimental condensed matter physics. Current research interests focus on optical properties of new materials for optoelectronics and photonics, particularly on the prospects of employing hybrid organic – inorganic perovskites in solar cells and LEDs.
