Appointment Duration
12 monthsTwo-dimensional materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers exhibit unique physical properties resulting from their reduced dimensionality and crystal symmetry. Their optical properties are governed by excitons, i.e. electron and hole pairs bound by Coulomb interaction. Although only a few dozen of layered compounds have been successfully synthesized, more than 5000 materials with different properties are predicted to be stable as atomically thin layers. They can be assembled by simple stacking to form heterostructures and provide an additional avenue to engineer new properties in a desired fashion.
I will present what we can learn from linear and nonlinear optical spectroscopy in atomically thin semiconductors for applications in optoelectronics and photonics, exploring also spin and valley properties. I will show recent investigations of optical transitions with carriers residing in different layers, resulting in interlayer excitons whose transition energies can be tuned by external fields. Approaches to confine excitonic states for applications in quantum technology will be discussed and future research opportunities in this multidisciplinary field will be outlined.

PERCEIVE aims at improving the perception, preservation, curation, exhibition, understanding and access of colored Cultural Heritage collections. It aims at developing a reliable way to Study, Reconstruct, Render, Remap, Exhibit and Re-appropriate them. These collections are, in fact, a priority because of their high fragility that requires shared methods to preserve and exhibit them (i.e. textiles start fading in only 10 years, while only small traces of the original polychromy on classical statues is left today), because of the complexity of their study (especially with the attempts of reconstructing their original appearance), and because of the importance of their communication to future generations and of the shaping of European common identity around the concepts of “care” and diversity/ variety” (i.e. the different shades of skin colors that were common in the Greek and Roman times). PERCEIVE starts from the twofold needs of better preserving and communicating colored artworks, improving and speeding up scientific process results, that could better be used to maximize visitors' experience with the physical and the digital colored collections. Following the coronavirus emergency, in fact, museums have proved to lack of a digital policy that could guarantee a sustainable remote access for visitors. PERCEIVE aims at advancing the digital capability of scientists and cultural institutions, through a service-based AI architecture and toolkit; and by developing a new design theory for onsite and remote VR/AR/MR experiences, based on “Care” “Accessibility” and “Authenticity” concepts, with and for the creative industries. Our expected outcomes include services and tools including: a PERCEIVE Tool Kit connected to an online easy-to-use Service, PERCEIVE Experience Prototypes for the visitors, PERCEIVE Design Tool Kit for designers and educators.

PERCEIVE will work on 5 key scenarios relating to different types of Colored Artworks and Collections.
- Lost colors of Polychromy in Classical Sculptures
- Fading colors in Paintings and works on paper
- Fading colors in Textiles
- Fading colors in Historical Photos
- Born Digital Art

Expected outcomes include new services, tools and prototypes, focused on
- reconstructing the original perception of the colored artworks obtaining new images to be applied to the digital artworks,
- predicting the future development of color changes,
- using the results of the reconstruction and prediction in interactive (onsite and online) prototypes (the experience solutions) and also in the definition of methodological guidelines for exhibiting the colored collections
