Luca De Stefano heads a research team, the NBSY group (https://www.facebook.com/Nanobiosystems-lab-group-105875757619539), in the fields of biophotonics and optical microsystems for biochemical and optoelectronic sensing. Main topics are the fabrication and characterization of porous silicon based photonic devices; the design and realization of hybrid devices based on bio/non-bio interfaces between polymeric and plasmonic nanoparticles for sensing applications in medical and environmental fields. He presented his work to more than 290 national and international conferences, many of which (>35) he has been invited to. He is author or co-author of 217 scientific articles published on peer reviewed journals, 100 conference proceedings, and 21 between books and book chapters. He currently has a H-index of 52 and more than 7800 citations indexed by Google Scholar (Hi=43, > 5900 citations by SCOPUS). He holds one European patent, three international patents and eleven Italian patents. He is coordinator of the Workgroup on Optical Biosensors and Biophotonics and President of The Optical and Photonic Italian Society (SIOF), member of the European Optical Society (EOS) and the Italian Association for Electronics (SIE). He is reviewer for many high impact factors scientific journals: Nature Communications, Scientific Reports, Applied Physics Letters, Optics Letters, Optics Express, Small, Advanced Functional Materials, ACS Nano, Biosensors and Bioelectronics. He tutored seven PhD theses and more than thirty master theses.
