Nicola Pinto is researcher and adjunct professor of Physics at the University of Camerino (Italy), School of Science and Technology, Physics unit. 

In 2010 he has coordinated the research project “Synthesis and Characterization of hydrogenated nano-crystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) for solar cell fabrication” in collaboration with scientists of the University of Pune (India) (a Joint Research Project within the Indo-Italian Executive Programme of S&T Co-operation 2008-2010). 

From 2007 to 2012 he was vice-president of PEnSy (Pro Energy Systems) a spin-off of the University of Camerino, aimed to design novel systems and solutions for building energy saving.

In 2005 he has coordinated the project SIPE, funded by the Marche Region, Italy, in collaboration with scientists of ENEA Casaccia (Rome), for the development of an advanced geometry of contacts for Si based solar cells.

In 2003 he has coordinated the research project GEMASE (Germanium Magnetic Semiconductors) funded by the INFM (National Institute for the Physics of Matter) regarding the growth and characterization of Ge based diluted magnetic semiconductors for spintronic applications.

From 2005 to 2009 he has been the Director of an University Master course (1st level) about the renewable energies.

He is co-author of about 100 scientific publications in international peer-reviewed journals and co-holder of an Italian patent.
