Draft:Angelo Di Bernardo

Angelo Di Bernardo is an Italian academic, and a Professor of Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Salerno in the Department of Physics. , with a joint affiliation with the Department of Physics at the University of Konstanz. He got his Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge in 2016, and was a Research Fellow at St John's College in Cambridge from 2016 to 2019. From 2019 to 2023, he was a Sofja Kovalevskaja research group leader at the University of Konstanz, where he was later appointed as an Associate Professor (W2 Universitätsprofessor) in August 2020.

Di Bernardo has worked extensively in the fields of superconductivity and superconducting spintronics, and has been recognised for his achievements in the "spectroscopy of spin-polarised states in superconductor/ferromagnet hybrids and for the discovery of new coupling effects and quantum phases existing at the surfaces and interfaces of strongly-correlated electron materials and materials with low dimensionality". Unconventional physical states and effects for which Di Bernardo has demonstrated evidence include spin triplets at superconductor/ferromagnet interfaces, p-wave superconductivity in graphene  , nodal exchange coupling in superconducting spin valves , orbital loop current magnetism. Di Bernardo has also contributed to the field of superconducting electronics, and in particular to the development of three-terminal (gated) superconducting devices for superconducting logics
