Prof. Dr. Duò grew up as an Electronic Engineer at Politecnico di Milano and University of Liverpool and then went into Physics. He has been a professor of Experimental Physics at PoliMi since 1999. After several years of institutional activities carried out within the University, mainly on teaching and education, in 2017 he was appointed as vice rector for education and was elected as Director of the Department of Physics in 2020.

As chairman of Education, during the last few years, he has led the innovation process on teaching at PoliMi, bringing great examples of „innovative teaching“ like blended learning in many courses of the University. He has always had an eye on the future and in these months of emergency he has been able to guide the University through distance teaching, online graduations, remote exams and entry tests very well. We are confident that even in this new phase where tomorrow's teaching is an unknown factor for everyone, he can help us in finding some good options.
