About

Gian-Franco Dalla Betta is a leading figure in the development of advanced silicon sensors and 3D imaging systems. His research centers on the design, simulation, and characterization of radiation-hard detectors for high-energy physics and innovative optoelectronic devices. A key contribution is his pioneering work on 3D cameras based on linear-mode gain-modulated avalanche photodiodes, a technology that enables precise, real-time depth sensing for applications in robotics, vehicle safety, and mobile devices. His most cited paper (2013, 31 citations) details this system, which overcomes limitations of traditional range imaging by offering high sensitivity and fast response. Beyond this, Dalla Betta has made significant advances in 3D silicon sensors for particle tracking, notably contributing to the ATLAS experiment at CERN. His work on slim-edge and active-edge sensors has improved detector efficiency and radiation tolerance. With over 200 publications and a strong citation record, his research bridges fundamental detector physics and practical imaging solutions, making him a respected authority in sensor technology and a key innovator in the field.
