Paolo Rava
Full biography
Paolo Rava
Paolo Rava was born in Torino, Italy on 7 November 1950. In 1975 he obtained an engineer’s degree in Electronic Engineering from the Politecnico of Torino and in November 1976 a Master of Science degree in Solid State Physics from the University of London (Bedford College).
From 1977 to 1981 he held a research assistant assignment in the Electronic Materials group of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, USA).
He carried out research activities on the electrical and optical properties of crystalline semiconductors (silicon, gallium arsenide and indium phosphide) and on the conversion efficiency of photovoltaic solar cells.
Since 1983 he started working in the family’s company Elettrorava as responsible of the R&D department. He is now involved in all engineering activities related to the production of PECVD and PVD machines and turbomolecular high vacuum pumps.
