Marco Avesani
Marco Avesani graduated in Physics and holds a PhD in Information Engineering from the University of Padua. Since 2025, he has been a tenure-track researcher (RTT) at the University of Padua and a co-founder of ThinkQuantum S.r.l., a University of Padua spin-off developing secure communication systems based on quantum technologies. He teaches Quantum Technologies at the University of Padua, and his research focuses on the analysis and development of quantum communication systems for fiber and free-space links, as well as on high-speed and secure quantum random number generators. He is currently the Principal Investigator (PI) of a FISA project aimed at developing quantum communication systems on photonic integrated chips. He is the author of three patents and more than 50 publications, including peer-reviewed journal articles and conference proceedings.
