Curriculum of Milanese Daniel
I gained the title of PhD in Materials Engineering at Politecnico di Milano (Italy) in 2001. In 2002 I became Assistant Professor at the Department of Materials Science and Technology, and in 2014 I was appointed Associate Professor at the Department of Applied Science and Technology of Politecnico di Torino. My research interests include the design, fabrication and characterization of photonic glasses and optical fibers for lasers and amplifiers in the near infrared wavelength region and supercontinuum sources. From 1998 to 1999 I was Visiting Research Assistant at the Optoelectronics Research Centre, University of Southampton, UK, working on the direct UV laser writing of channel waveguides in photosensitive glasses. In 2008 I was Visiting Scholar at the College of Optical Sciences, University of Arizona, USA for a six-month period, where I fabricated and characterized rare earth doped tellurite glasses and fibres for infrared lasers.
I am author of more than 70 peer-reviewed papers and 2 European patents. I participated to regional and national projects and was involved in an EU-FP7 Large Collaborative European project called 'Leadership in Fibre Laser Technologies' (Lift). I am an active member of the Italian Optical Society (SIOF), the European Optical Society (EOS), the Optical Society of America (OSA), the American Ceramic Society (ACerS) and of the European Technology Platform Photonics 21 (member of Working Group 3, “Life Sciences and Health” and WG7 “Photonics Research, Education and Training”).
