Draft:Dario Polli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Unfortunately I think the previous reviewer pointed you in slightly the wrong direction. The relevant criteria are in WP:NACADEMIC. Unfortunately I do not see any evidence that he meets any of these conditions, it is too soon in his career. (He may well in 5-10 years.) Please note that getting a grant or being a coordinator are not honors -- these are expected of academics. Ldm1954 (talk) 14:18, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:PROF) but presently does not. As you may know, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see referencing for beginners or the article Easier Referencing for Beginners. Please note that many of the references are not formatted correctly (see Wikipedia’s Manual of Style for help). Additionally, the draft tends to read too much like a CV, which Wikipedia is not. Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link). Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements then resubmit the page and ping me and I would be happy to reassess. As I said, I do think this draft has potential so please do persevere! Cabrils (talk) 05:51, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Dario Polli is an Italian physicist and academic. He is known for his contributions to the field of nonlinear optics, spectroscopy and microscopy and he is currently serving as an Associate Professor of Physics at the Physics Department of the Politecnico di Milano.[1]. Polli is also associated with the Italian CNR (National Research Council) with a research assignment. His research background is related to the development of innovative microscopy systems, especially in the field of coherent Raman scattering microscopy, ultrafast spectroscopy, Fourier-Transform spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging.

Early life and education[edit]

Polli completed his Master's degree in Electronics Engineering cum laude at the Politecnico di Milano. He also holds a Master's degree in Physical Engineering from the École Centrale de Paris in France, which he obtained through the "TIME - Top Industrial Managers for Europe" project.

From 2002 to 2005, Polli pursued a Ph.D. in Physics at the Physics Department of the Politecnico di Milano.[citation needed] After completing his Ph.D., he joined the Physics Department as an Assistant Professor.[citation needed] During this time, Polli was involved in several research projects, including collaborations with the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy in Berlin, Germany.[verify notability]

Career[edit]

Polli currently heads a research group at Politecnico di Milano dedicated to the development of innovative label-free nonlinear optical microscopy systems for biological applications, such as coherent Raman scattering microscopy, second-harmonic imaging and two-photon-excited fluorescence. The group also focuses on Fourier Transform spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging, leveraging a patented ultra-stable interferometer.[citation needed]

Throughout his career, Polli has been the principal investigator for several research grants, such as an European Research Council (ERC) consolidator grant “VIBRA”[2], two ERC Proof-of-Concept grants, an Horizon-2020 project[3][4] and an European Innovation Council (EIC) Transition project.[verify notability]

Research[edit]

Polli is a notable researcher

known for his contributions in the field of spectroscopy and microscopy using ultra-short laser pulses. His work focuses on investigating the ultrafast dynamics of excited states in organic molecules, semiconductors, and nanomaterials.

His most relevant achievements include the first real-time observation of the isomerization process of the retinal chromophore in rhodopsin, and studies on carotenoids that led to the discovery of a new excited state with implications for photosynthesis and photoprotection processes.

In addition to spectroscopy, Polli extended the use of his spectrometer to microscopy, introducing the concept of transient absorption microscopy (TAM). This technique enables the mapping of ultrafast dynamics in nanometric or micro-structured samples with exceptional spatial (≈200 nm) and temporal (≈100 fs) resolution.

Along this line, he has recently provided some pioneering contributions for the development of high-speed coherent Raman scattering (CRS), which provides high-resolution images of biological samples without the use of exogenous markers.

Scientific divulgation[edit]

Polli taught Experimental Physics at the "Collegio San Carlo" High School in Milan from 2012 to 2015.[verify notability] He has also given talks and presentations at various high schools and public events[5][6].[verify notability] Notable engagements include teaching children through collaborations with the Italian magazine Focus Junior, speaking at the Wired Next Fest 2015, participating in the MeetMeTonight events, and delivering TEDx talks in Vicenza[7] and Politecnico di Milano[8]. Additionally, he has been a speaker at "Pint of Science" and Bergamo Scienza, as well as being invited to Luxembourg and Spain to speak at international conventions.[verify notability] He has co-authored a textbook on General Physics for first-year Bachelor students[9]
