Hossein Roshan

Hossein earned his PhD in Electronic Engineering from Shiraz University, Iran, where he specialized in nanocrystal-based infrared photodetectors. He later joined the Photonic Nanomaterials group at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) as a postdoctoral researcher for three years, before continuing his work at IIT in the Nanochemistry group as a Technologist (staff researcher). In 2025, he was awarded the Young Investigator Group Preparation Program by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany), and more recently, he received a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of St Andrews (UK).

His research is centered on the development of advanced quantum materials for optoelectronic applications, particularly quantum light sources and photodetectors operating in the infrared spectral range. His work contributes to the advancement of next-generation technologies for sensing, biomedicine, and optical communications. With a strong engineering perspective, he is particularly motivated by translating fundamental discoveries in nanochemistry and photophysics into practical optoelectronic devices for real-world use.
