Personale docente

Matteo Masino, born in Parma in 1973, earned the laurea degree in chemistry (maxima cum laude) at the Università degli Studi di Parma in 1998. In 2002, he earned the title of PhD in chemical sciences discussing a thesis on: "Collective charge-transfer processes in organic crystals: from exotic phase transition to superconductivity’’.
Since november 2001, he has been a researcher in chemical physics at the Dipartimento di Chimica Generale ed Inorganica, Chimica Analitica e Chimica Fisica of the Università degli Studi di Parma. During the period 2004-2007 he spent several periods at the "Physikalisches Institut" of the Stuttgart University as a visiting scientist.

The scientific activity can be rationalized in the field of the physical-chemistry of the solid state and of materials. He has been working in the field of semiconducting molecular materials for opto-electronic applications; and in the field of charge-transfer systems: focusing on their optical and structural properties, and in particular on the effect of their peculiar electron-phonon interactions.
Experimental expertise in infrared and Raman micro-spectroscopy combined with cryogenic and high pressure techniques. On the theoretical side, expertise in the development and extension of suitable models aimed to extract the microscopic parameters relevant to rationalize the behavior of these molecular solids.

He is author of more than 40 scientific publications in international refereed journals, and several communications to scientific conferences.
