Andrea Reale
Rome, Italy


Prof. Andrea Reale is Associate Professor at the Department of Electronic Engineering, University of Rome "Tor Vergata", where he has been serving since 2014. He graduated with honors in Electronic Engineering in 1997 and earned a Ph.D. in Telecommunications and Microelectronics Engineering in 2001. From 2004 to 2014, he held the position of Researcher in the same department. In 2013, he was awarded the Italian National Scientific Qualification for the Academic Recruitment Field 09/E3 – Electronics – Associate Professor level. His research activities focus on:
- organic and hybrid organic–inorganic semiconductors, with particular attention to large-area scale-up processes for photovoltaic applications and to the development of devices for telecommunications, including photodetectors for VLC and IR applications and infrared light sources;
- Nanostructured materials, particularly carbon nanotubes, for applications in thermal management and deformation sensing;
- Optical, electro-optical, and electrical properties of heterostructure-based devices for electronics and telecommunications.
Prof. Reale’s scientific output includes 107 peer-reviewed articles published in leading international journals, along with several proceedings for international conferences, one textbook on Optoelectronics, three book chapters in photovoltaic review volumes, and seven international PCT patents (one acquired by Selex SI and six by the Dyepower consortium). His scientific impact is reflected in an H-index of 24 (Scopus). He actively serves as a peer reviewer for numerous prestigious international journals including: Sensors and Actuators B, IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, Optical Communications, IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, Optics Express, Organic Electronics, Journal of Experimental Nanoscience, Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, Electrochimica Acta, Journal of Computational Electronics, Journal of Nanophotonics, and IEEE Journal of Optical Communications and Networking. Prof. Reale has presented his research at approximately 80 international conferences, both through oral and poster presentations, including six invited talks.
