  • on air: catch my interview about my future research at Unical

    Check out my interview on TGR Leonardo—the Italian science news program—about the research that I’ll be starting at the Università della Calabria (subtitles generated with AI). ☀️ 🔬more about my research and the project can be found on this website 🇮🇹 for the original video in Italian: https://www.rainews.it/tgr/piemonte/video/2025/04/gianni-iacucci-unical-voci-ricerca-16860959-321d-4e60-b42f-70096e25f7c8.html

  • ENTWINE project funded!

    I have been awarded the Italian FIS2 grant (~€1.4M) for the project ENTWINE: Active Synergy Between Light and Matter. This project, starting in 2025, will allow me to establish my lab at the University of Calabria. I will soon be opening PhD and postdoctoral positions—feel free to get in touch if you’re interested in joining the…

  • visit at Enrico Fermi Research Center

    I had fun in presenting my research at the CREF institute in Via Panisperna. A big thanks goes to Romolo Savo for inviting me, you can check his research here. Still not over giving my talk under a banner that read “The Scientific Legacy of Enrico Fermi”. Undeserved? Slightly.

  • active colloids in optical fields is now published (@CommunicationsPhysics)

    All the details on our work on active colloids in optical environments can be found on Communications Physics. More details can be found both on the previous News but also on the Research page of this website!

  • active colloids in optical fields (@arXiv)

    Our study of the group behaviour of active colloids is now on arXiv! Taking inspiration from sci-fi movies (well, sort of), we thought of using light to create holographic “cities” in which the colloids can navigate. But will the colloids perceive these holograms as real?

    It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many…
