Ph.D. Defence

February 23, 2021

I defedend my Ph.D. thesis “Advances in Coherent Raman Scattering” at Politecnico di Milano, with advisors Prof. Dario Polli and Prof. Giulio Cerullo, getting the title cum laude.

Coherent Raman Scattering (CRS) is a non-linear (involves high-power lasers) optical technique to probe matter and get chemical information. When used within a (very particular) microscope, it offers the information about spatial distribution of chemicals, and that’s a promising and relevant application in biomedical field.

During the Ph.D. I assisted to the explosion of Artificial Intelligence, and I studied some application of AI to CRS and non-linear optics:

A denoising filter based on Deep Learning: an innovative solution for a long standing problemin the field.
An automated control system based on Deep Reinforcement Learning to set-up and optimize the generation of ultrabroadband light pulses, cornerstone of spectroscopy applications.
