Alberto Diaspro is Full Professor of Applied Physics at the Physics Department of the University of Genoa, PI at the Italian Institute of Technology, affiliate at IBF-CNR, full academic of the Ligurian Academy of Sciences and Letters, member of the Società di Letture e Conversazioni Scientifiche, Genova. Active in European and national projects, he has over 400 scientific articles with 25000 citations (H = 67). AD designed and realised the 1st Italian multiphoton microscope (1999) and a hybrid artificial "nanobiorobot" (2000). He directed the design and realisation of the 1st Italian nanoscopy architecture at IIT (2008). He co-founded the Genoa Instruments start-up in 2019, and recently launched "The artificial microscope", EOS Dijon (2023). He is developing an intelligent quantum optical microscope. He is scientific responsible of projects within the PNRR, Next Generation EU funds, “SeeLife” (B53C22001810006), PNRR CN3, and National Quantum Technologies-NQSTI. He received the Emily M. Gray Award from the Biophysical Society for "significant contributions to education in biophysics" and the Award for Scientific Communication from the Italian Physical Society in 2019. AD was President of EBSA, OWLS, and of the Scientific Council of Festival of Science, Genoa. He is SPIE and EOS Fellow, IEEE and OSA senior member. He coordinates the ALM node of Eurobioimaging. AD founded the Nanoscale Biophysics subgroup of the Biophysical Society. AD is editor-in-chief of Microscopy Research and Technique, President of the Italian Society of Pure and Applied Biophysics, SIBPA; Co-Director of the International School of Biophysics «Antonio Borsellino» at the "Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture, Erice. AD received the Gregorio Weber Award for excellence in fluorescence studies in 2022. On 2024, Alberto Diaspro has been appointed Ian Venice as Academic of the “Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti (IVSLA)” on June 9th 2024, and as Cavaliere dell’Ordine al “Merito della Repubblica Italiana” (Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic) on June 2nd 2024 (27/12/2023).
