Dr. Alessandra Toncelli

Alessandra Toncelli is Associate Professor at the Department of Physics of the University of Pisa since 2017. Her research activity is mainly devoted to optical spectroscopy of materials in various wavelength regions from the visible to the mid-infrared and THz region. Her research interest is focused on the spectroscopy of insulating crystals doped with rare earth ions for laser and other photonic applications, the growth of fluoride crystals with the Czochralski technique. More recently, spectroscopic characterization of crystals and other materials (including amorphous materials and semiconductors) in the mid-infrared and THz spectral regions. In all these research areas, she has co-authored more than 180 papers in peer-reviewed international journals.
