#### **Federico Ferrarese Lupi**

Federico Ferrarese Lupi graduated in Physics of Advanced Technologies at the department of physics of the University of Turin in 2008. In 2012, he received his PhD in Physics "Cum Laude" at the University of Barcelona. Between 2012 and 2015, he worked as postdoctoral fellow at the IMM–CNR institute. During that period, he focused on the fabrication of self-assembled nano-structures using block copolymers and its integration with the next generation of electronic devices. Currently, he is a researcher at the Italian National Metrology Institute. He is involved in several projects covering different aspects of the fabrication and characterization of materials at the nanoscale. His main research activity is focused on the optical characterization and nano-patterning of polymeric and silicon-based materials with potential application in nanometrology. Federico Ferrarese Lupi is author or co-author of more than 60 scientific papers and 2 patents.
