Biography |
Born in Domodossola (Italy)
on May 31, 1945. A fellow of the Collegio Borromeo in Pavia. Graduated
in Physics in the University of Pavia (1968). Served in the Italian
army (1970-1971). From 1971 Assistant Professor and then Associate
Professor at the Mathematical Institute and at the Department of Nuclear
and Theoretical Physics in the University of Pavia, then the University
of Milano (1991) and then to the University of Insubria. |

Qualifications and awards |
He is a member of the National
Institute of Nuclear Physics. |

Research interests |
Theoretical research in
Quantum Chaos: that is, the study of quantum mechanical implications
of classical Chaotic motion, and of their relevance to several fields
of microphysics. At the present time (2005) these include: Solid State
Physics (properties of coherent transport in quasi-periodic and disordered
media), Atomic Physics (Rydberg atoms in external electro-magnetic
fields), Quantum Optics with Cold and Ultra-cold atoms (Quantum accelerator
modes). Also working in the mathematical theory of connections between
spectral and dynamic properties of quantum systems, with special attention
to the case of Singular Continuous (Fractal) spectra. |
