About
Franco Zappa is a leading figure in the development of single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) technologies and their application to advanced imaging systems. His research primarily focuses on high-performance solid-state detectors and time-of-flight (ToF) 3D ranging, where he has made foundational contributions to low-power, high-speed image acquisition. Notably, Zappa pioneered the design of a low-power, 20-meter 3D ranging SPAD camera based on continuous-wave indirect time-of-flight, a breakthrough that enables real-time depth sensing for applications in industrial robotics, automotive safety, and cultural heritage preservation. His work has been widely recognized, with his most-cited papers accumulating hundreds of citations, reflecting their impact on both academic research and commercial sensor development. Zappa’s innovations have been instrumental in pushing the boundaries of SPAD-based LiDAR and 3D imaging, making him a key reference for students and engineers working on next-generation photodetection systems.
