Vito Errico

Position: Research fellow

Areas of Expertise: Electronic, nanotechnology, embedded systems, biomedical devices, wireless sensors, body area network.

Vito Errico graduated in micro-electronic engineering from Polytechnic of Bari in 2005. He received the Ph.D. degree in materials and innovative technologies (ISUFI) from CNR/INFM ISUFI NNL, Università Degli Studi del Salento (LE).

His doctoral work has included design, nanofabrication, and characterization of active and passive photonic crystal devices. As a result of his research results, he received the Marie Curie “best poster award” at the International School of Nanophotonics in 2007.

He was appointed to post-doctoral researcher position at the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom in 2008.

Currently, he is a researcher at the University of Tor Vergata, Rome, and his main activity is the development of cutting-edge sensors and electronic devices.
