Francesco Tafuri

His scientific interests fall in the field of Superconductivity and Quantum Technologies, investigating superconducting qubits, macroscopic quantum phenomena and the rf Josephson effect in hybrid devices, new routes for the realization of superconducting qubits, read-out and parametric amplifiers for hybrid architectures, qubit integration with superconducting electronics, mesoscopic and nanoscale systems, high critical temperature superconductors, unconventional superconductivity, advanced superconducting materials for quantum applications. Worldwide expert on the Josephson effect, used in all types of superconducting qubits, international acknowledged contributions on the physics of the Josephson effect and on vortex matter in high critical temperature superconductors and unconventional systems.

FT has played a major role in several national and international projects and is Member of the panel on “Quantum Technologies” for the National Italian research Plan PNR 2021-2027. He serves as a Peer Reviewer of National (in Italy, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, UK) and European projects (ERC, ITN, various calls of Horizon2020), he has served as Reviewer for Agenzia Nazionale per la Valutazione del sistema Universitario e della Ricerca di prodotti VQR 2004-2010 and VQR 2011-2014 and is currently GEV Member for evaluation of VQR 2015-2019. He is Associate Editor of Journal of Superconductivity- Springer, reviewer of scientific journals, Chair and co-Chair of about 10 international conferences and participation in various Conference Program Committees and Editorial Boards, in different types of international committees.
