Alessandro Cultrera received his degree in Physics and a Ph.D. in Materials Science from the Università degli Studi di Torino, Italy. Since 2014, he has been with the Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRIM), where he is currently a researcher in the Quantum Metrology and Nanotechnologies Division. His work focuses on precision electrical measurements, with a focus on electrical metrology of nano-structured materials, and advanced calibration methodologies.
His research activity includes the development of electrical resistance tomography as a quantitative technique for the characterization of thin films, two-dimensional materials, and nano-structured systems. He has contributed to the study of graphene, nanowire networks, and transparent conducting oxides, with several publications in these areas.
He is also active in electrical metrology for energy-related applications, including impedance spectroscopy and calibration techniques for instrumentation used in signal recovery, and energy storage devices such as supercapacitors. His work has also addressed measurement methods and traceability of electrical power under non-sinusoidal and distorted conditions.
He is member of the European Metrology Network for Clean Energy and is involved in European research initiatives in the field of advanced materials and energy systems. He contributes to standardization activities within IEC/TC 113 “Nanotechnology for electrotechnical products and systems,” where he leads projects on the electrical characterization of graphene. Since 2025 he coordinates the Italian mirror of this committee. In 2021, he was awarded the IEC 1906 Award for his contributions to international standardization.
