Giovanni Landi received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees (cum laude) in Electronic Engineering from the University of Salerno, Italy, in 2006 and 2010, respectively. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Hagen, Germany, in 2014. In 2011, he worked as a Visiting Researcher at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel, where he investigated the effects of sunlight exposure on the morphology and spectroscopic properties of thin films for organic photovoltaic devices. From 2015 to 2018, he was a research fellow at the Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Salerno, and the National Research Council (CNR) in Italy. In 2017, he became a Guest Professor at the Faculty of Electrical and Microsystems Engineering at OTH Regensburg in Germany. In the same year, he won the "Nanoinnovation's Got Talent" 2017 award for young researchers (under 35 years old), supported by the Bracco Foundation. Since 2019, he has been a permanent researcher at the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy, and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA).

Some of his areas of expertise include:

• Characterization and development of eco-friendly nanomaterials and devices used in energy harvesting and storage applications;
• Development of eco-friendly, self-powered sensors for environmental monitoring;
• Development of low-power electronics for an indoor monitoring platform based on energy harvesting.

He is the author of more than 70 articles in international peer-reviewed scientific journals.
