Daniel Lizzit received his Ph.D. degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Udine, Italy, in 2016 where he worked on the modelling of quantum transport in nanoscale MOS transistors with silicon and III-V semiconductor channel. In 2017, he joined the Italian Synchrotron (Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste) as Postdoctoral Research Associate where he mainly worked on the growth, structural and electronic characterization of 2D and quasi-2D materials like Graphene and Transition Metal Dichalcogenides grown on different substrates. Since 2020 he is Research Associate at the Polytechnic Department of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Udine and his current research interests include ferroelectric materials for neuromorphic computing applications, and the modelling of quantum transport between bulk metals and 2D semiconductor materials
