Faustino Martelli was born in Rome, Italy, in 1957. He received the laurea degree in physics (cum laude) from the University of Rome, in 1981 and the Doktor der Naturwissenschaft (Ph.D.) from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany, in 1985.

From April 1982 to September 1985 he has been research assistant at TUM. From October 1985 until December 2000 he was with Fondazione Ugo Bordoni in Rome, Italy. In January 2001 was among the promoters of Opto Speed Italia s.r.l. where he worked until June 2002. Since September 2002 is with the TASC Laboratory of INFM in Trieste, Italy. In 1988 he was visiting scientist at the Ecole Politechnique Fédérale, Lausanne, Switzerland.

His previous scientific interests included two-dimensional electron gases in Si; alloying and disorder effects in III-V semiconductors; the growth of quantum well and quantum dot structures by molecular beam epitaxy and the study of their optical and structural properties; four-wave mixing in semiconductor optical amplifiers for wavelength conversion in optical transmission systems. His present research is on semiconductor nanowires (III-V and II-VI) as well as on diluted III-As nitrides.

He has been work-package leader in the European project “ATLAS” (IST-1999-10626) within the V European research program and has been active in the European project COST 267. He published some 120 papers in international scientific journals and conferences proceedings.
