COMMITTEE

Daniele Sanvitto is Director of Research at the Institute of Nanotechnology of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), where he leads the Advanced Photonics facility and a research group working on light–matter interaction in nanostructured and integrated photonic systems.

He received his PhD from the University of Cambridge in collaboration with the TOSHIBA Research Center and held research positions in Paris, Sheffield, and Madrid. His research centers on the physics of strong light–matter coupling and the emergence of exciton-polaritons, explored in both inorganic and organic/hybrid perovskites and two-dimensional semiconductors and nanostructured photonic systems. A major focus is placed on quantum fluids of light far from equilibrium, including polariton Bose–Einstein condensates in engineered band structures where topology, synthetic gauge fields, and nonlinear interactions can be tailored on demand. More recently, his activities have expanded toward integrated polaritonic and photonic
waveguide platforms, targeting ultrafast nonlinear optical processing, neuromorphic and reservoir computing architectures, and few-photon regimes where collective effects and quantum correlations become relevant.
