Maurizio Acciarri

Maurizio Acciarri was born on 01/07/1961. He graduated in Physics in 1990 at the University of the Studies in Milan. From 1992 to 1993 he was a student of the Specialization School in Material Science at the University of Milan. Since 2002 he is researcher confirmed for the scientific-disciplinary sector FIS/01 at the Department of Science of the Materials of the University in Milan Bicocca. He is scientific responsible for the Electronic Microscopy service of the Department of Science of the Materials. He is teacher of the course of Physics III for the degree in Ottica e Optometria (A.A. 2012-2013) and also teacher of the laboratory of Physics of the Semiconductors for the Physics degree (A.A. 2012-20013). His research activity pertains to the study of the electric properties of elementary semiconductors (Si) and composed (SiC), particularly his studies has been devoted to the study transport properties, recombination properties (diffusion length and lifetime), structural properties of defects. Particularly, he studied multicrystalline silicon for photovoltaic applications. In this field he has participated since 1990 to different European Projects. Recently, a new research line dedicated to the deposition of CuInGaSe (CIGS) as active substrate for thin film solar cells. On this topic he was local coordinator for a two years project founded by Ragione Lombardia (Metadistretti 2008-2010 project). Now, he is local coordinator for a two years project founded by Ragione Lombardia – MIUR “Progetto di ricerca industriale e sviluppo sperimentale nei settori strategici di Regione Lombardia e del Ministero dell’Istruzione, dell’Università e della Ricerca” (d.d.u.o. 29 luglio 2011 n.7128)” (period 2012-2013). He is also local coordinator and WP leader for an three year European project (2013-2016) in the VII framework (Solar Design project). He is referee for different international scientific journal. He is co-author of three patents in the photovoltaic field. His research activity is documented by more than 70 articles published on international magazines and many oral presentation to national and international conferences on Materials Science and Solar energy. Since 2010 he is member of the scientific committee of the laboratory for Renewable Energy of EnergyLab fondation. Since 2011 is member of the scientific committee of the Milano-Bicocca Solar Energy Research Center (MIBSOLAR).
