Prof. Carlo Barone is Associate Professor at the Department of Physics (University of Salerno, ITALY). From March 07, 2025 he has the National Scientific Qualification as Full Professor in the Italian higher education system for the disciplinary field of 02/B1 - Experimental Condensed Matter Physics. On February 29, 2008 he was awarded a Ph.D. in Physics (specialization Condensed Matter), at the University of Salerno. From December 16, 2002 to September 17, 2003 he has attended a Master in “Technologies and Applications of Computer Science for the Territorial Management (GIS)”, at the International Institute for Advanced Scientific Studies – Vietri sul Mare (SA). On July 18, 2002 he graduated in Physics (specialization Geophysics), at the University of Salerno, with an evaluation of 110/110 points.

Most of his scientific and professional activity has focused on the elaboration of stochastic signals originated by non-equilibrium processes in innovative materials and devices (electric noise measurements), giving him the possibility to publish more than 100 papers in international scientific journals. Actually, he is a member of the Editorial Board of Scientific Reports (a journal from Nature Publishing Group).

Regarding the scientific responsibility in research projects, he is currently the Head of the Local Unit (Sezione di Napoli – Gruppo Collegato di Salerno) inside the Project entitled: “QUantum ARchitectures for Theory & Technology (QUART&T)”, funded as National Experiment by the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN). He, also, has been Associated PI and Head of the Local Research Unit (UNISA) inside the Project entitled: “Development of two-dimensional environmental gas nano-sensors with enhanced selectivity through fluctuation spectroscopy (2DEGAS)”, funded on Bando PRIN 2022 PNRR – Progetti di Ricerca di Rilevante Interesse Nazionale (from November, 2023 to November, 2025). Moreover, he has been Coordinator and Principal Investigator of a national “Seed” Project entitled: “Is weak localization detected by 1/f noise?”, funded by the CNR-SPIN Institute from April, 2012 to February, 2013.
