About

Francesco Campaioli is a theoretical physicist, specialising in open and many-body quantum systems. His research focuses on using quantum science and technology for energy applications. In particular, he studies excited electronic states in semiconductor materials to improve solar cells, batteries, and energy conversion in optical and electronic devices. To do so, Francesco uses advanced techniques like tensor network methods, quantum master equations, and quantum simulation platforms. As Chair of the International Conference on Quantum Energy, Francesco is actively fostering collaborations with industry partners to translate their findings into practical solutions and grow the interdisciplinary research community that focuses on these topics.
