Microelectronics for the human health care
Study of the interface betweed microelectronics and biological materials: analysis of the effects og biological components on electrical and optical parameters, using both numerical modeling and different transduction strategies, e.g., electrochemistry and plasmonics.
Devices for biological analysis and investigation: design, study, developments and characterization of new integrated microsystems able to actively and passively interact with biologic substances, in order to improve biological analysis techniques for the detection of specific target molecules.

Radiation effects on CMOS systems
Permanent radiation effects in advanced CMOS technologies: study of the microdose effects induced by heavy-ion strikes on decananometer Silicon On Insulator (SOI) transistors; effects of radiation total dose on circuits employed in space applications and high energy physics experiments; Single Event Gate Rupture (SEGR) experiments on CMOS devices.
Radiation effects in volatile and non-volatile memories: study of radiation-induced phenomena in floating-gate memories; single event upset (SEU) and total ionizing dose (TID) in SRAM memories as a function of radiation type, supply voltage, radiation incidence angle, and temperature; real-time experiments with Flash memories to investigate the effect of radiation on Phase Change Memories.
