Sara Pellegrini was born in Bergamo, Italy on 15th June 1972. She graduated with full grades in Microelectronics Engineering at Politecnico di Milano in 1998 and in 2006 she completed a PhD in Physics at Heriot-Watt University under the supervision of Prof Gerald S. Buller.
Sara worked on the Time-of-Flight project at Heriot-Watt University for a full year before finishing her studies in Italy. She then started working on the design, fabrication and characterisation of InGaAs/InP Infra–Red Single–Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPADS) for single photon detection at 1.55µm wavelength. She was also involved in time-resolved photoluminescence measurements on quantum wells and quantum dots employing SPADs.
During the first 3 years of her PhD Sara was assistant co-ordinator of the successful European funded project EQUIS.
