Dr Lucia Caspani received her B.Sc. (2003), M.Sc. (2006), and PhD (2010) in Physics from Insubria University, Como, Italy. Her research focuses on the generation of complex quantum states of light and their applications in imaging, computing, and communication. She is the author of 46 articles in peer-reviewed journals, >75 invited talks, including 1 postdeadline talk, >100 contributions at international conferences and 1 book. She is the recipient of the Emiliano Sali award, Italian Physical Society (2012), the Insubria University Press award (2010), and the Galluzzi’s award for Physics 2006, University of Rome “Roma Tre” (2006). From April 2011 to May 2014, Dr. Caspani was a postdoctoral fellow at INRS-EMT in Varennes, Canada. During this time, she worked on experimental nonlinear and integrated quantum optics, focusing on the generation of multimode/multiphoton entanglement, as well as on the generation and detection of THz radiation. Subsequently, from July 2014 to January 2017, she was a Marie Curie Fellow at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, UK, where she conducted research on entangled photon triplets, nonlinearity in 2D materials, and enhanced nonlinearity in low-permittivity media. In February 2017, Dr Caspani joined the Institute of Photonics at the Department of Physics, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK, as a Research Fellow. She was appointed Chancellor's Fellow (Lecturer, Assistant Professor) in June 2018 and promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2021. Her work at the University of Strathclyde was supported by the Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics in Glasgow. Since May 2024, Dr Caspani is Professor of Physics at Insubria University (Como, Italy) in the Dipartimento di Scienza e Alta Tecnologia, where she started an ERC Consolidator grant (2024-2029) to investigate quantum-enhanced nonlinear imaging.
