Anna Persano

Anna Persano received the Laurea (cum laude) degree in physics from the University of Lecce, Lecce, Italy, in 2003, and the Ph.D. degree in material engineering from the University of Salento, Lecce, in 2008. Since 2013, she has been a permanent Research Staff Member with the Institute for Microelectronics and Microsystems, National Research Council (IMM-CNR), Lecce. She has authored about 60 international scientific publications, including articles in peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, and book chapters. Her current research interests include the electrical characterization and reliability of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) in III–V and Si-based technologies for radio frequency (RF) applications, the development of wafer-level thin-film micropackaging methodologies, and the electrical characterization of 2DEG-based GaAs photodetectors for optoelectronic applications. Dr. Persano serves as a reviewer for several international peer-reviewed scientific journals.
