2 Replacee with First name(s) Surname(s) The thesis was dealing with Solid State Physics, condensedd matter at low temperature, including all technologies related to that range of temperatures (superconductivity, vacuum, cryostat, resistivity thermometry measurements). I subsequently specialized in electronics semiconductor technologies for the large area semiconductors sector. From 1970 While working in, I took part in many management courses R&D programs. I was leader of many R&D programs with Italian Universities, Italian Ministry of Research with EU Photovoltaic Tra nsportation programs.

5 Certification: I, the undersigned, certify that to the best of my knowledge belief, these data correctly describes me, my qualifications my career in S.p.A., one of the world s leading integrated electromechanical engineering group, founding the High Power Semiconductor activity with technical responsibility. Up to 1978, I was in charge of developing the technology of semiconductors in, from that date on, I had the full responsibility of the Business Unit called Unità Semiconduttori. Since 1980, my capabilities have covered all the technical aspects s of the plant, from the electric engineering (dimensioning design of the PV arrays of inverters, sectioning of the plant, grid connection, dimensioning design of battery chargers accumulator arrays) to the static structures, the safety issues testing. In 1980 I designed constructed the first production line of photovoltaic solar cells modules in Italy. The material used was mono multi-crystalline silicon wafer (squared 100x100 mmm top dimension at that time) I was also involved in the design, production construction of several photovoltaic power plants. I designed installed the Volcano Tremiti isls pv systems produced tested the pv modules (double glass) for the Himalayan K2 shelter for Italian national research centre CNR (Photo). I maintained the full responsibility (including Quality Control Safety) up to 2001, when, together with three other managers, founded a private company, POSEICO S.p.A., maintaining as core business the High Power Semiconductors Electronic Components. In 2007 I left POSEICO S.p.A to found design the new photovoltaic factory of FERRANIASOLIS srl (Messina group Finemme) I am now Chief Technology Officer. From 2012 I am also Chief Technology Officier of VISPA srl (Finemme Vismunda srl) ), a br new activity in Silver powder screen-printing paste for PV applications.
