Prof. Gianluca Verona Rinati graduated in Physics in 1996 at the University of Rome “Tor Vergata”. From 2002 to January 2015, he was Researcher at the faculty of Engineering at the Tor Vergata University. From January 2015 to February 2023 he was Associated Professor at the department of Industrial Engineering of the Rome Tor Vergata University and since March 2023 he is Full Professor of Applied Physics (Academic field FIS/07).

Prof. Verona Rinati conducted research activity on resonant Josephson junction for application in production of oscillation in the millimetric and sub-millimetric band. Successively, he dealt with the growth and characterization of diamond films and the development of novel devices based on such a material. He developed new growth systems for polycrystalline and single-crystal diamond by Microwave Chemical Vapor Deposition (MWCVD) and conducted researches for the diamond characterization in order to correlate the growth conditions with the material features optimizing the properties for the specific applications. It also deals with the design, fabrication and characterization of different types of devices, with particular regard to:

a) Neutron detectors for thermonuclear fusion and fission diagnostic with high radiation tolerance.
b) Soft X-ray and Extreme-UV detectors for plasma diagnostics in nuclear fusion reactors.
c) Single crystal diamond substrates with functionalized surface for biological experiments.
d) Diamond based radiotherapy dosimeters.
e) Diamond based microdosimeters for the characterization of dose delivery at cellular level.
f) Time-of-flight detectors for application in laser accelerated hadron therapy beams and in inertial confinement nuclear fusion experiments.
g) High-power/high-frequency transistors for telecommunication application.
h) Physical techniques for material characterization of cultural heritage
i) Non-linear optical detectors for femto-second laser application.
j) FLASH radiation therapy dosimetry.

The Scientific activity of Dr Verona Rinati is evidenced by more than 250 publication on peer reviewed international journals and numerous invited presentation at international conferences.
