Curriculum Vitae



Armando Piccardi (b. in Sora on 11/07/1976) received in July 2003 an MSc degree in Electronic Engineering ("Laurea") from the University of L'Aquila, with a thesis entitled "Generation of bidimensional spatial solitons in photorefractive crystals". In 2004 he completed an international Master of Science in Nanotechnologies from the University Ca' Foscari in Venice and University of Padua and enrolled for an internship at the Fraunhofer Institute for Materials and Laser Techniques in Dresden (Germany), working on XRR thin film characterization. From November 2005 he is a PhD student in Electronic Engineering at the University "Roma Tre" .
