About

Jacopo Bertolotti is a leading figure in nanophotonics and metamaterials, whose work bridges fundamental physics with practical device engineering. His research focuses on reconfigurable photonic systems, particularly using phase-change materials to create active, tunable optical devices. His most cited work, "Nonvolatile Reconfigurable Phase‐Change Metadevices for Beam Steering in the Near Infrared" (2018, 271 citations), introduced a paradigm for compact, flat beam-steering without moving parts—a critical advance for LIDAR, autonomous vehicles, and optical signal coupling. This contribution exemplifies his broader impact in developing nonvolatile, reprogrammable metasurfaces that can dynamically control light. Bertolotti’s research has been instrumental in pushing the boundaries of integrated photonics and smart optics, earning him recognition as a pioneer in active metamaterials. His work not only advances fundamental understanding of light-matter interactions but also offers tangible pathways for next-generation sensing and communication technologies. With a growing citation record and a reputation for innovative, application-driven science, Bertolotti continues to shape the future of reconfigurable photonic devices.
