Giuliano Scarcelli is an Associate Professor at the University of Maryland in the Bioengineering department and the Biophysics program. Giuliano obtained his PhD in physics with a EU-funded fellowship between the University of Bari, Italy and UMBC, USA under the supervision of quantum optics pioneer Prof. Yanhua Shih. Giuliano then was at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine of Harvard Medical School for eight years, first as a postdoc in Prof. Yun's Lab, then as an instructor and assistant professor. He joined University of Maryland in 2015. Giuliano has been the recipient of several awards such as the “Exceptional by example” award for outstanding PhD studies, the Tosteson Postdoctoral Fellowship at Harvard, the Human Frontier Science Program Young Investigator Award, the NIH Quantitative Career Award, the NSF CAREER award and “Teaching excellence” awards from both Harvard University and University of Maryland.
