Short Bio
Carmela Bonavolontà received Bachelor's Degree in Physics from the University of Naples “Federico II” (Italy) in 2002. In 2005 she received the PhD degree in Chemistry, Materials and Production Engineering from the University of Naples “Federico II”, in the research field concerning non-destructive methods based on SQUIDs to characterize composite materials for aerospace applications. From 2006 to 2008 she worked at IMAST Technology District of Polymers and Composite Materials, Portici, Naples (Italy) as a researcher. Her activity was focused on the development and characterization of composite materials to realized innovative open magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment. From 2008 until 2017 she has been employed at the Department of Physics “E. Pancini” of University of Naples as post-doc researcher. During this period, she was involved in several European projects and was teaching assistant, undergraduate students’ instructor and supervisor. Her research activities were focused on the characterization of superconducting materials by means of magneto-optical technique and ultrafast optical spectroscopy (Pump and Probe) at low (4.2K) and room temperature. From 2017 to 2023 she was a high school Physics teacher at ISIS “Europa” Pomigliano d’Arco (Naples). From the 2014 to 2022 she was an associated researcher at Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) involved in the “CTA -Cherenkov Telescope Array” project focused on the development of SIPM array for astrophysics applications. She was also involved in the PARIDE project focused on the study of photodetectors based on CNT\Silicon heterostructures. From October 2023 she is a researcher assistant at the Institute of Applied Sciences and Intelligent Systems (ISASI) “E. Caianiello”, National Council of Research (CNR), Pozzuoli (Italy), where her main research activities are focused on the study of superconducting networks based on Josephson junctions and qubits. The current research topics also include the development and characterization of broadband photodetectors based on Graphene/Silicon heterojunctions. C.B. is a member of National Quantum Science and Technology Institute (NQSTI). She is author of volumes and more than 100 scientific articles on international peer reviewed journals and several contributions to national and international conferences.
