Giovanni Magno is an RTDb Researcher in Electromagnetic Fields at the Department of Electrical and Information Engineering of the Polytechnic University of Bari. His scientific activity focuses on the study and design of innovative structures and devices in the optical and microwave frequencies, with particular expertise in numerical modeling, near-field characterization, and the development of metasurfaces, metalenses, and advanced plasmonic and photonic devices.

After obtaining his PhD from the Polytechnic University of Bari (2015), he conducted research in France at the CNRS (C2N and IEF), working on photonic and plasmonic structures for applications in optical nanodevices, nanotweezers, optical modulation of electron beams, and modeling of laser-matter interaction in additive manufacturing techniques with metals.

He is involved in numerous national and international projects (Horizon 2020, PNRR, EIC Pathfinder) in the fields of optical telecommunications, advanced sensor technology, photonic interconnections, and graphene-based devices.

He has carried out/carries out the following teaching activities at the Polytechnic University of Bari:
– Photonics for Industry 4.0 (2021-2024, SCUDO Doctoral Program)
– Electromagnetic Compatibility (2021-2023)
– Radio Propagation (2020-2025)
– Electromagnetic Fields and Signal Theory: module Exposure to non-ionizing radiation (2023-2025)

He actively supervises doctoral students on topics related to metasurfaces, integrated photonic devices, optical tweezers, thermoplasmonics, graphene, and optical interconnects for space and biomedical applications.
