Vincenzo is associate professor of condensed matter physics at Cagliari University, Italy. He 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), at IMEC Leuven, and TU Dresden (as Dresden fellow). In the 2020-2024 quadrennium, he was science attaché of the Italian Embassy in Berlin. Vincenzo is married and has three children (29, 26, 18), currently lives in Berlin, and in his free time reads and plays jazz. Vincenzo works in computational materials physics and related methods, and has published about 160 scientific articles garnering ~17000 citations and an h-index of 51 ass well as 55 invited talks at conferences. 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 (the stress density, the applications of pseudo SIC). As university professor for over 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. He acted as evaluator of recruiter for a couple dozen international institutions, establishments, and Ministries, etc., as well as reviewer for top journals. He was the co-organizer of a 12-edition series of an important computational materials science workshop, and the founding director of Laboratorio regionale INFM “SLACS” (2004-08), now Unità di Ricerca CNR-IOM (2006-now).
