Prof. Marco Martini, Full Professor of Applied Physics since 2002 at the Department of Materials Science, University of Milano-Bicocca. Director of the same department from 2012 to 2018, and Director of the Interdepartmental Center, Bi-PAC for the Study and Protection of Historical Artistic Cultural Heritage since 2017. His scientific interests concern the study of defects in insulating materials and their optical properties, in particular luminescence and the dosimetry of ionizing radiation. Closely derived from the skills acquired in the aforementioned studies is the interest in physics applied to cultural heritage.
