BIOGRAPHY
Daniele Faccio is a Royal
Academy Chair in Emerging Technologies, Fellow of the Royal Society
of Edinburgh and Cavaliere dell'Ordine della Stella d'Italia (Knight of the Order of the Star of Italy).
He joined the University
of Glasgow in 2017 as Professor in Quantum Technologies where he leads
the Extreme-Light group and is Director of Research for the School of
Physics and Astronomy. He is also adjunct professor at the University
of Arizona, Tucson (USA) and fellow of the Optical Society of America. Previously he was at Heriot-Watt University
and University of Insubria (Italy). He has been visiting scientist at
MIT (USA), Marie-Curie fellow at ICFO, Barcelona (Spain) and EU-ERC
fellow 2012-2017. He was awarded the Philip Leverhulme Prize in Physics
in 2015, the Royal Society of Edinburgh Senior Public Engagement medal
and the Royal Society Wolfson Merit Award in 2017. He worked in the
optical telecommunications industry for four years before obtaining his
PhD in Physics in 2007 at the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis
(France). His research, funded by the UK research council EPSRC, DSTL,
The Leverhulme Trust, the EU Quantum Flagship program and the Royal
Academy of Engineering, focuses on the physics of light, on how we
harness light to answer fundamental questions and on how we harness
light to improve society.
