Über Autor(innen)

Francesco Tafuri is Professor of Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Napoli Federico II. He earned his PhD from the University of Napoli, with further work at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, the New York State University at Stony Brook, and as a Fulbright Fellow at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. His scientific interests fall in the field of superconductivity with a focus on the Josephson effect, on macroscopic quantum phenomena and on high critical temperature superconductivity, with many contributions to the study of quantum properties of Josephson hybrid junctions with unconventional barriers/superconducting electrodes and of mesoscopic and nanoscale superconducting systems. He has co-authored about 130 articles in peer reviewed journals on the Josephson effect and related phenomena.
