Filippo Pisano

Filippo Pisano is an Assistant Professor (RTD-B) at the Dept. of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Padua.

 

His research focuses on the development of next-generation tools and methods for optical neural interfaces, harnessing light-brain interactions for multimodal, bidirectional and minimally invasive communication with the brain.

 

He obtained his Master’s Degree in Physics at the University of Turin (2012) and his PhD in Physics at Institute of Photonics at the university of Strathclyde in Glasgow, UK (2017), where he worked on largescale opto-electronic interfaces with neural circuits in the mouse retina. He was a visiting scholar at the University of California Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA, US (2015).

 

He was a Post-Doc (2017-2021) and a Researcher (2021-2023) at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia-Center for Biomolecular Nanotechnologies, where he worked on photonic neural interfaces based on tapered optical fiber probes, partecipating in large european initiatives such as the DEEPER project (https://deeperproject.eu/).

 

Filippo is a recipient of the ERC Starting Grant 2024 for the project NEUROLIDAR: measuring neural dynamics with label-free optical multi-domain recordings.
