Giulia Acconcia received the B.S. degree in engineering of computing systems and M.S. degree in electronics engineering from the Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, in 2011 and 2013, respectively. In 2017 she received the Ph.D with honours in Information Technology from the Politecnico di Milano. From 2017, she has been with the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering at the Politecnico di Milano where she is currently an Associate Professor. She has co-authored more than 60 papers in international journals and conferences. She is currently the PI of the ERC Starting Grant HÉRMES on “high-speed time resolved fluorescence imaging with no pile-up distortion” and of European project QLASS on the development of “Quantum Glass-based Photonic Integrated Circuits”. Her current research interests include the development of integrated and system electronics for high-performance counting and timing with single photon detectors such as silicon single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs), silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) and superconducting nanowires (SNSPDs). She is involved in several aspects regarding single-photon detection systems, including modeling, front end design, module development and applications. Prof. Acconcia was awarded SPIE Rising Researcher in 2019 and Young Investigator Award in 2020.
