Background

About Massimo Tormen

Specialties:+ Nanoscience and nanofabrication + Nanolithography (Nanoimprint, e-beam and ion beam lithography, photolithography, soft lithography, Microcontact Printing, Hi-RES and Deep X-ray lithography, LIGA, 2-photon lithography)+ Thin film technologies (PVD, CVD, PECVD, Sputtering, electroplating)+ Plasma etching (RIE, RIE-ICP)+ Wet etching chemistry; Surface modification with Self Assembled Monolayers + Inspection and characterisation (SEM, EDX elemental analysis, AFM, contact angle, Cyclic Voltammetry, PV cells characterisation, UV-VIS-IR spectroscopy, profilometry).+Inventor of the Pulsed-Nanoimprint lithography (wafer scale nanoimprinting within 100 us thermal cycles). Main applications:+ Electrochemical nano-bio-sensors + Microfluidics + Photonics, special micro-/nano- optics + Photovoltaics (thin film organic and perovskites based solar cells) Other:+ CAD design of nanostructures + Proficient in programming in Mathematica Wolfram environment + EXAFS spectroscopy (experimental and data analysis)+ Study of local atomic-scale lattice distortions in thin semiconductor films under strain conditions.+ Development of new instruments In 2009 I have co-founded ThunderNIL srl, whose technology is bases on a patent that I deposited as inventor, and I am currently its CEO and CTO. I supervised 12 Ph.D. students in Ph.D. programs of nanotechnology and material science. I acted as reviewer for different international peer reviewed scientific journals. I am author of ~100 scientific papers on peer reviewed journals, 4 book chapters, and 5 patents. I am violin player. I learned the basics methods of inducing the hypnosis state in people.
