Dario Polli is Associate Professor at Politecnico di Milano. He builds lasers generating extremely short flash lights, whose applications range from research on innovative materials to biology. He published about 80 scientific papers on international magazines.
In 2015 he was funded by the European Research Council to develop an innovative microscope based on impulse lasers to study cells and identify tumor tissues.
He is affiliated to IIT (Italian institute of technology) and to CNR (Italian national institute of research). Passionate/enthusiast for of scientific dissemination, he created a series of video of Physics for MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses), he collaborated with Focus Junior to explain the fascinating world of Physics to children, he realized several informative for the general public (Wired Next Fest 2015, TEDx Vicenza 2016) and for several high schools in Milan.
