Graduated in Solid State Physics from the University of Parma in 1995 (Italy), Paolo Bondavalli earned his PhD in 2000 from the Institute of National Applied Science of Lyon (France), in collaboration with Ecole Centrale, with a thesis focused on MOEMS for gas sensing applications. In 2011, he received his Habilitation (HdR) from Paris Sud University (now Paris Saclay University) for his work on transistors based on nanomaterials.
