Fund Raising Activity

Ever since my early PostDoc years I got strongly involved in the Fund Raising activityof the ISI Foundation, at the national as well european level. Since I got at USC (January2007) I got awarded as Principal Investigator of three NSF grants and I am a co-PI ofMURI proposal

• I strongly contributed to write down, especially in the Quantum Information as-pects of the of the Advanced Research project (PRA) on Solid state implementationof quantum information processing devices, National Institute of Physics of Matter(INFM). The national coordinator was Prof Mario Rasetti (Politecnico di Torino)and several national nodes were involved.
