Vincenzo is an associate professor of condensed matter physics at Cagliari University, Italy, and also worked at Trieste University and the International Center for Theoretical Physics, the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid Physics in Freiburg, the Fritz-Haber Institut of the MPG in Berlin, the Walter Schottky Institute in Munich (as a Humboldt scholar), and IMEC Leuven. In the 2020-2024 quadrennium, he was attaché of the Italian Embassy in Berlin. Vincenzo is married and has three children (28, 25, 17), currently lives in Berlin, and in his free time reads and plays jazz. Vincenzo works in computational materials physics and related methods (~150 scientific articles, ~16500 citations, h-index=51). His main contributions are in the theory of, among others, III-V nitrides, and high-k, wide-gap, and ferroic oxides, plus a couple of important methodology developments. As a professor for just short of 30 years, Vincenzo taught classes on many topics in condensed matter and general physics, supervised about 30 Master's and a dozen Ph.D. theses, as well as of the order of a dozen post-docs. In keeping with his expertise, research plans for his stay concern magnetoelectricity and magnetoresistivity in hafnia and its possible applications to memristors.
