Professional Activities

Dr. Claudio Marinelli is the Director of Open Innovation and Academic Relations for the Nokia Research Centre (NRC). He is responsible for the strategic and operational aspects of the collaborative research activities performed by the NRC laboratories across the globe.

Claudio joined Nokia as a Business Development manager at the NRC laboratory in Cambridge, UK,where he was responsible for nanotechnology road mapping and productization. Prior to joining Nokia, Claudio was Entrepreneur-in-Residence at the University of Cambridge for Advance Nanotech, a US-based seed investment fund focused on academic spin-offs. In the past, Claudio held the positions of Senior Research Associate in the Photonics Group at the Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, UK, and of Senior Device Engineer with Luxnet Corporation - a Fremont, Ca, start-up specialised in fibre optics components.

Claudio’s technical background covers the areas of semiconductor materials, lasers, photonics and nanotechnology. His expertise includes innovation management, emerging technology entrepreneurship and investments. Claudio has a first degree in Physics (University of Trieste,

Italy

), a Ph.D. in Electronic Engineering (University of Bristol,

) and an MBA from the Judge Business School (Cambridge,

Other Information

Claudio has organised and continues to contribute to workshops on Technology Transfer and Entrepreneurship around Europe. He has provided regular lectures and seminars on the subjects of Management Analysis and Emerging Technologies Ventures to the Judge Business School’s MBA course, as well as to graduate students at the Centre for Advanced Photonics and Electronics of the University of Cambridge.

In his free time, Claudio likes sport and physical exercise - basketball, swimming and skiing being his favourite activities. He has also an addiction to music, which in the past led him to become a regular contributor to the jazz CD review section of a major Italian music magazine.
