Full profile:
Giacomo is currently a group leader at the Fritz Haber Institute in Berlin, Germany. His work focuses on new methods to control polar molecules at ultracold temperature. The research activity of Giacomo’s group is strongly interdisciplinary, sitting at the interface of quantum many-body physics, ultracold chemistry, and quantum optics. Since 2024, his research is supported by an ERC Starting Grant and an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship.
Prior to Berlin, Giacomo was a postdoctoral research associate at JILA, in the lab of Dr. J. Ye. During his time he participated in the realization of the first ever quantum degenerate gas of polar molecules by direct evaporation. He obtained his PhD from Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, with a thesis on ultracold Fermi gases in the group of Prof. M. Inguscio and Dr. G. Roati.
