Profile

Claudio Ciceroni obtained the Master Degree in Electronic Engineering (cum laude) at University of Rome "Tor Vergata". My thesis was on: "Design and realization of high frequency triodes with carbon nanotubes as cold cathodes" (Supervisor, Prof. Francesca Brunetti). Afterwards I attended the Ph.D. (fellowship holder) in Telecommunications and Microelectronics Engineering (XXVII cycle), within the OLAB (Optoelectonic and Nanoelectronic Devices) research group of the Electronics Engineering Department, at University of Rome "Tor Vergata". After one and half year as Scientific Staff member at Technische Univeristat of Munchen (TUM), now I am a Post-doctoral researcher in C.H.O.S.E. and the Lab-manager of the TEAM.

Research Activity

Claudio Ciceroni, PhD funded by the European FP7 project Go-Nexts, whose aim was the realization of hybrid-organic solar cells with graphene contacts and nanostructured design. The core of his research was the realization of carbon based semitransparent contacts, by CVD and spray deposition of CNTs, and the production of nanoimprinted organic solar cells, in order to obtain diffractive gratings optimized for light absorption. Currently working on the characterization of several thin-films and nanostructures of hybrid and organic materials by the mean of Scanning Probe Microscopy. Recently authored a book chapter concerning the use of graphene oxide in hybrid-organic solar cells.
