Biography

Matteo Tonezzer holds a PhD in Physics and a PhD in Agro-food and Environmental Sciences from the University of Trento. He worked at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in France, the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) in Brazil, the Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) The University of South Korea, the Georgia Institute of Technology (GeorgiaTech) in the USA. He lives with a cat and reads fantasy and science fiction.  

Research activities

The main scientific interests are chemoresistive gas sensors based on thin films and metal oxide nanostructures, recently supplemented by electronic thermal noses, An innovative approach to electronic noses using a thermal gradient instead of sensors made from different materials. All these devices should go towards the rapid and non-invasive assessment of agri-food products and their quality and freshness.
