Dr. RUOTOLO Antonio

Dr A. Ruotolo received his Master degree with honors in 2002 from the University of Naples (IT) “Federico II” with a thesis on superconductivity, under the supervision of Prof. A. Barone. In 2003 he joined the Dept. of Materials Science of the University of Cambridge (UK), supported by a European exchange grant. He completed his PhD in 2006 in Naples with a thesis on spintronics, in collaboration with the Fiat research center of Turin.

He become a Research Associate of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University before receiving a Marie Curie post-doctoral fellowship in the group of the future Nobel Laureate Prof. A. Fert in the CNRS/Thales joined laboratory in Paris (FR).

He has joined the City University of Hong Kong in October 2009.
