Giuseppe Maruccio (1978) is Full Professor in Physics of Matter (FIS/03) at the Dept. of Mathematics and Physics, head of the Omnics Research Group and responsible for the laboratories Cryo-spintronics, RF-Spintronics, lab-on-chip&sensing, FMR/MOKE/transport, STED-Imaging and Electronic Workshop in the joint infrastructure UniSalento/CNR-Nanotec.At only 28 years, he was coordinator of the EU project SpiDME on molecular spintronics and then he was successfully granted in other open competitions (UE, FIRB, PRIN and MAE projects), attracting also funds from external sources such as private companies (IBM, Ekuberg Pharma s.r.l., Sensichips). He was involved in other EU projects in FP7 and H2020 (ERN-Apulia as coordinator, MolArNet, Madia and Isabel).In 2010 he was Chair of the International conference “Trends in Spintronics and Nanomagnetism”, with the participation of Prof. Albert Fert, father of spintronics and Nobel Prize in Physics 2007. G. Maruccio is author of more than 130 publications and 4 patents in addition to several invited contributions at international conferences, institutions and PhD schools (h-index 25, citations >2000). He is Member of the Editorial Board of J. of. Sensors (Hindawi, 2018 Impact Factor 2.024, CiteScore 1.99), MDPI Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220, Impact Factor 3.031), MDPI Micromachines (ISSN 2072-666X, Impact Factor: 2.426) and Review Editor in Nanobiotechnology, part of the journal(s) Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences (Impact Factor 3.565 | CiteScore 3.55), Bioengineering and Biotechnology (Impact Factor 5.122 | CiteScore 4.04) and Materials. He was referee for prestigious journals (Science, Nature Nanotechnology, Phys. Rev. Lett., Lab on a chip, Nano Letters, ACS Nano, J. Am. Chem. Soc., …) and funding agencies (EU-FP7, EU-H2020, ERC, MIUR, Israel Science Foundation, TWAS) and scientific evaluation agencies (ANVUR). In 2013, along with some Department colleagues, he created the dissemination journal Ithaca (http://ithaca.unisalento.it/, e-ISSN: 228 2-8079). From 2014 to 2019, he was Research Delegate for the Rector for the University of Salento. In 2017, he was part of a Working Group (made of four Research Delegates) within CRUI (The Conference of Italian University Rectors) for the preparation of the Position Paper of Italian Universities as midterm review for H2020 and toward FP9.
