Prof. Dr. Giacomo Scalari

Giacomo Scalari is Adjunct Professor at ETH Zürich since April 2020.  He got his diploma in Physics at the Università di Pisa in 1999. After a period at Scuola Superiore S. Anna, Pisa, he completed his PhD in December 2005 with a thesis on magneto-spectroscopy and development of THz quantum cascade lasers. He moved  to ETH in 2007 and in 2011 he became permanent senior scientist in the group of Prof. J. Faist.  His research interests are in the field of THz ultrastrong ligh-matter coupling, THz quantum cascade lasers frequency combs and THz superconducting metamaterials.  He was awarded the Swiss Physical Society national prize in 2006 for Applied Physics and an ERC Consolidator grant on THz quantum cascade lasers frequency combs in 2016.
