Profile
Dr. Pozzi graduated cum laude with a Diploma di Laurea in Solid State Physics from the University of Milan. He later obtained a Diploma di Specializzazione in Materials Science and Technology (cum laude) from the University of Milan (Bicocca). He earned a PhD in Mechatronics from the University of Leeds.
Dr. Pozzi made contributions to materials science, chiefly within the field of Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), and in Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) with the characterisation of 3C-SiC and the design of accelerometers and pressure sensors for harsh environments. More recently he has been active in Energy Harvesting with piezoelectric transducers, developing the Pizzicato technique of frequency up-conversion.
