Main results of scientific work
Aldo Di Carlo graduated (cum laude) from the La Sapienza University of Rome in 1991 and received his PhD in physics and mathematics (PhD) from the Technical University of Munich (Germany) in 1995.
In 1996, he became a research assistant at the Department of Electronic Engineering of the Tor Vergata University of Rome, and in 2001 he became an associate professor of the said department. Since December 2012, he has been a professor at the same university.
Professor Di Carlo is the author and co-author of more than 400 scientific publications in international journals (h-factor > 54), more than 20 patents, several reviews on the description of nanostructures (in the Semiconductor Science and Technology and on Report Progress in Physics journals), several book chapters and co-author of two books (in Italian) on semiconductor materials in electronic engineering and optoelectronics: “Appunti di Optoelettronica: I materiali semiconduttori” and “Appunti di Optoelettronica: fiber ottiche e componenti a semiconduttore”.
He attended more than 40 international conferences as a speaker. The results of his research were used by 5 spin-off / start-up energy technology companies, which fostered private-public partnerships.
Aldo Di Carlo’s research activities cover a wide area of semiconductor microelectronics, which includes the study of electronic and optical properties of nanostructured devices, their analysis and optimization, and the manufacture of organic and perovskite photoconverters. In recent years, Aldo Di Carlo’s scientific activity has been focused on fundamental studies of the effects of charge transfer in semiconductor devices, HEMT transistors, as well as on large-scale studies of solar cells and third-generation modules (3G-PV), including devices based on a dye sensitizer, polymer semiconductors and perovskite organometallic compounds.
Under his guidance, the work of scaling the printing of thin-film photovoltaic devices to create real prototypes of solar cells for terrestrial use is underway. Applied and technological tasks in scientific groups led by professor Di Carlo are inextricably linked with theoretical research and the construction of various models.
In particular, one of the most outstanding studies recognized by the international scientific community is the development of the “Theory of the nonequilibrium charge transfer process in nanostructured devices”, which has been the subject of many invited talks at international conferences and university seminars.
Recently, Aldo Di Carlo has been one of the key participants in the implementation of the “Polo Solare Organico della Regione Lazio” CHOSE (Center for Hybrid and Ecological Solar Energy — CHOSE (Italy)) project, where he is the co-director of the center, as well as of the NUST MISIS Advanced Solar Energy Laboratory (Russia) opened in 2018 as part of the Russian Megagrant project.
As part of various scientific projects, research teams led by Aldo Di Carlo are developing a technology for printing solar modules based on perovskite with a record efficiency for large-area devices of more than 17%. In addition, professor Di Carlo is the coordinator of the Nano- and Optoelectronics Research Group at the Department of Electrical Engineering and a member of the IEEE Electron Devices community.
Aldo Di Carlo develops multiscale simulation software for electronic and optoelectronic devices called TiberCAD, which is a leading tool for the design of advanced devices.
