Matteo is a graduate student in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at MIT. He received his M.Sc. degree in Micro and Nanotechnologies for Integrated Systems from the Polytechnic University of Turin, Grenoble Institute of Technology, and École Polytechnique Fédérale in 2020, and his B.Sc. in Engineering Physics from the Polytechnic University of Turin in 2018.
His current work is focused on superconducting nanowires for neuromorphic computing and single-photon detectors.
