Research interests

My prominent present interests are in nano-optics and nano-photonics, in particular in the analysis of optical properties of materials and nanodevices at the local scale. I develop and operate a variety of scanning probe microscopies, including optical near-field nanoscopy with polarization-modulation, aimed at investigating nanostructured materials, plasmonics systems, surface roughness of micro-fabricated components, biological specimens. I am involved as well in technological applications of laser manipulation, including the production of focused ion beams through ionization of laser cooled atom beams, and in experiments of in-cavity opto-mechanics.
