Dr Donato Conteduca completed his PhD in 2017 in the Optoelectronics Laboratory of Politecnico di Bari (Italy) in collaboration with the Photonics Group at the University of York (UK), focusing his research on the design and realization of photonic/plasmonic nanotweezers for optical trapping at the nanoscale.He is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of York (UK). His research activities focus on the development of photonic devices for optical trapping and photonic biosensors based on photonic crystals and dielectric metasurfaces to integrate in portable devices, aiming at their translation in point-of-care instruments.He has published over 50 journal articles on international journals and serves as a member of the Editorial Board of Photonic Biosensors (MDPI) and as guest editor in multiple special issues and research topics.
