Scientific Board and consultant of Tiberlab S.r.l. since 2009 University of Leeds, F.W. Carter prize as 'best PhD thesis of 2002'. Dr. Alessandro Pecchia has a strong and world-recognized experience in quantum-transport at molecular and nanoscale. He received his PhD in Electronics Engineering, with honors, from the University of Leeds and was awarded the F.W. Carter prize as 'best PhD thesis of 2002'. The work was a multidisciplinary interaction between physicists, chemists and engineers working on the development of novel hybrid organic-inorganic interfaces. Dr. Pecchia was involved in the theoretical modeling of these systems. He spent 12 months as a PostDoc at the University of 'Tor Vergata' after which he won a long tenure contract of five years within INFM institute (CNR-INFM since 2005). In February 2009 he got a permanent position in CNR-INFM and in September 2010 he moved to CNR-ISMN. Since his PhD, his main research focuses on multidisciplinary fields studying organic and inorganic interactions and quantum transport in nanoscale devices and molecular electronics, as well as opto-electronic properties of quantumdots and nanowires. Since 2003 he has been developing the general purpose tool gdftb for transport in nano and molecular systems, based on an atomistic tight-binding description and the non-equilibrium Green s function method. The gdftb code is currently used by several groups through international collaborations. The code has been applied to compute device characteristics of CNT-FETs and SiNW FETs and more recently grapheme and MoS transistors. The principal current activity of research is on molecular transport, including electron-phonon scattering and thermal dissipation models. Since 2008 he has been strongly involved in the development of TiberCAD, an atomistic/fem multiscale simulation tool for transport in opto-electronic devices and hybrid organic-inorganic devices developed in the group of Prof. Aldo Di Carlo at Univ. of Tor Vergata. Main working topics: - Transport in metals and semiconductors and diffusive transport in organic materials - Hybrid organic/inorganic interfaces - Electronic transport in nanostructures CNT FETs and inorganic Si nanowire FETs - Electron-vibration scattering effects and heat dissipation at the nanoscale - Development of atomistic TB methods for optoelectronic devices - Optoelectronic properties of nanostructures and quantum dots - Multiscale transport 1
