Giovanni CARAPELLA | Curriculum

Giovanni Carapella graduated in Physics cum laude at University of Salerno in 1993 and got the PhD in Physics in 1998 at same University. From 2002 he is Assistant Professor of Condensed Matter Physics Faculty of Science of University of Salerno. He is in the educational staff of the Faculty of Science at the same University, teaching classes of General Physics and Physics Laboratory. It has been member in examination committee for the PhD in Physics and it faculty member of the Physics PhD at Physics Department. It has been supervisor of two Laurea thesis and three PhD thesis. He is author of about fifty scientific works, most of them on peer reviewed journals. He is a referee for several journals, including Phys. Rev. Letters, Appl. Phys. Letters and Phys. Rev. B. He is in the CNR-SPIN. His reasearch activity has been centered on experiments and phenomenology of Josephson tunnel junctions based devices with emphasis on flux quanta dynamics and microwave range properties. He worked on stacks and arrays of long Josephson junctions, on dynamics of flux quanta in externally assigned potentials as well as on ratchet effect of a relativistic flux quantum. In the last years his experimental research activity is in the field of spintronics, superconductor-ferromagnet hybrids and mesoscopic superconductivity with emphasys on magnetotransport properties and Abrikosov vortex dynamics also theoretically addressed in the framework ot time dependent Ginzburg Landau model of superconductivity.
