Dr. Adriano Violante

Coordinate and provide support for the initiation and execution of development projects at EuXFEL. Support and facilitate the interaction between requester and support groups. Support the management in prioritizing projects, allocate resources and monitor the projects progress. Provide the Project Managers with support, PM tools and training.

Deputy section coordinator - Photon System Project Office - Planning and coordination of the cabling and electronics installation activities for the SASE1, SASE2 and SASE3 experiments. Schedule of the installation of the European XFEL instruments infrastructure. Building, consolidation, and monitoring of the the resource-loaded Instrument Installation Time Schedule. Validation of the Call-for-tender documentation. Construction supervision of hutches and infrastructure.

My activity is focused on the transport, manipulation and study of dipolar excitons in double quantum wells semiconductor systems both for optoelectronic applications and fundamental physics investigations at the Paul-Drude-Institut für Festkörperelektronik in Berlin ( group of Dr. P.V. Santos).

I had the responsibility of a Research Project concerning the characterization of Organic Solar cells with the Kelvin probe technique (i.e. a technique sensitive to the work function of materials) and optical spectroscopy investigation of solid-liquid interfaces.

My main task was the analysis of the waste water in order to verify the presence of contaminants like heavy metals and quantify the amount of contaminants, thus comparing the results with the maximum law admitted levels. Used techniques: mass spectrometry, titration techniques, standard chemical measurements (pH, pOH).
