my birthday
homepage of roberto cerbino, physicist

ricercatore (tenured assistant professor) at università degli studi di milano and member of the complex fluids and molecular biophysics lab

i study experimentally the structure, the dynamics and the processes involving soft materials, including biological samples. to this aim i also develop new optical techniques. two recent examples are differential dynamic microscopy and x-ray near field scattering

if you want to know more you may have a look at my publications or at my profile on google scholar

if you are looking for a project for a BS (laurea triennale) or master (laurea magistrale) thesis, please read here and then contact me

  • Confocal DDM in PRL Our paper, submitted almost two years ago, was finally accepted for publication in PRL and was published on May 22. We demonstrate DDM with a confocal microscope (ConDDM), proving that colloidal suspensions up to about 40% in volume fraction and bacterial motion deep in the bulk can be satisfactorily characterized at high speed by acquiring 2D movies of the sample and with no tracking. Apart from the excellent multiple scattering rejection capability of ConDDM there is a note of personal interest: if L is the axial resolution of the confocal microscope, for wavevectors q>1/L ConDDM provides results similar Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), whereas for q<1/L the experiment is akin to Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS). So....kill ...

  • Speckle sensing of X-ray beams in PRL We measured the wavefront properties of an X-ray beam in 2D by using X-ray near field speckles. You can read more here.
