Iacopo Carusotto

Iacopo Carusotto completed his Ph.D. in 2000 at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy, and then carried out postdoctoral work at Kastler-Brossel Laboratory of École Normale Supérieure in Paris. Since 2003, he has been a researcher at the INO-CNR BEC Center in Trento, Italy. He has been an associated researcher for CNRS in France and a visiting professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. His primary scientific interests include quantum fluids of light (from superfluid light to strongly correlated photon gases), topological photonics and physics, and the study of analogs of gravitational phenomena in atomic and optical systems.
