Background

Luigi Zeni is full professor of electronics and optoelectronics at the Second University of Naples. He  took his degree in Electronic Engineering, summa cum laude, from University of Naples in 1988 and his Ph.D. in Electronics and Computer Science, from Italian Ministry of University in 1992. He has been research assistant at the Department of Electronic Engineering of University of Naples "Federico II" and, from 1998 to 2006, he has been associate professor of Electronics at the Second University of Naples. He worked at DIMES (Delft Institute of Microelectronics and Submicrontechnology) of Technical University of DELFT (The Netherlands) as a visiting scientist. He is member of the AEI, of the IEEE and of the INFM. He has been national coordinator of PRIN projects, funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MIUR) in 2000 and 2005, has been scientific coordinator of research contracts with public and private institutions. He serves as reviewer for the following international journals: Solid State Electronics, Optics Letters, Journal of the Electrochemical Society, IEEE-OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology, Smart Materials and Structures, IEEE Sensor Journal, Optics Express, Journal of the Optical Society of America, Optics Communications, Measurement Science and Technology, Analytical & Bioanalytical Chemistry, Sensors and Actuators. He is reviewer for PRIN projects and industrial research projects and for projects of the 7^th Framework Program of the European Union. He is member of the Management Commitee of the COST 299 “Optical fibers for new challenges facing the information society” of the European Union. He is member of the Ediorial Board of Sensors & Transducers Journal (ISSN 1726- 5479) and Guest Editor of the special issue “Optical biosensors” of the international journal “Sensors” (ISSN: 1424-8220).

His teaching activity includes digital electronics and optoelectronics. He has been supervisor of many degree theses and Ph.D. students. His research interests include the characterization of semiconductor materials (recombination lifetime measurements, doping profiles measurements) and semiconductor devices fabrication processes, the design and characterization of optoelectronic devices with particular emphasis on silicon optoelectronics and laser beam characterization, the design and fabrication of optical fiber sensors for distributed measurements of deformation and temperature, optoelectronic integrated sensors for refractive index and absorption measurements in liquids and gases and biosensors. He is author of more than 60 papers in international journals, more than 70 publications at international conferences and 4 patents.
