Carlo Trigona

Biography

Carlo Trigona presently serves as an Associate Professor of Electronic Instrumentation and Measurements at the University of Catania, Italy, within the Department of Electrical, Electronic, and Computer Engineering (DIEEI). His academic journey began with the attainment of an M.S. degree (cum Laude) in Automation Engineering and Control of Complex Systems from the University of Catania in 2006. Continuing his pursuit, he embarked on his Ph.D. studies at the same university from 2006 to 2009, culminating in the achievement of a Ph.D. degree in Electronic, Automation, and Control of Complex Systems in 2010. His post-doctoral endeavors took him across Europe. From 2010 to 2011, he served as a post-doc and lecturer at the University Montpellier II – LIRMM (France). Subsequently, he continued his post-doc and lecturer roles at DIEEI, University of Catania, from 2011 to 2017. In 2017 to 2018, he furthered his research as a post-doc at the Chemnitz University of Technology (Germany). Returning to the University of Catania, he served as an Assistant Professor of Electronic Instrumentation and Measurements at DIEEI from 2018 to 2020. Continuing his academic progression, he held the position of tenure-track Professor of Electronic Instrumentation and Measurements at the same department from 2020 to 2023. He actively engages in numerous national and international academic and engineering projects, contributing as both coordinator and partner. Additionally, he significantly impacts the Instrumentation and Measurement community through various activities, including editorial roles and serving as a reviewer for esteemed journals from 2006 up to the present. Professor Trigona has received several awards for his research endeavors, notably the 2020 IEEE I&M Outstanding Young Engineer Award for his exceptional contributions to advancing I&M concepts in sensors and transducers for energy harvesting. Regarding his research profile, Prof. Trigona's first paper surfaced in 1997, and presently, he co-authors more than 250 scientific publications with over 2200 citations. These contributions span chapters in books, papers in international journals, proceedings of international conferences, trademarks and patents. His research interests encompass sensors, transducers, MEMS, NEMS, fluxgate magnetometers, energy harvesting, as well as innovative areas such as green and biodegradable sensors and transducers based on living organisms.
