Biography
Piero Nicolini received the Laurea (B.Sc.+M.Sc.) degree in Physics from the University of Trieste in 1997, and the Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from the University of Bologna in 2002. In the recent years, he has been Adjunct Professor of Mathematical Physics and obtained two qualifications for Professorship in Theoretical Physics (in Germany and in Italy) and one qualification for Professorship in Astrophysics (in Italy). He is currently Research Fellow at FIAS and Privatdozent (Faculty) at the Goethe University. Nicolini has successfully conducted research activity in disparate areas. He published papers in string inspired dilaton gravity models as well as plasma physics, quantum hydrodynamics, cosmology, neutrino oscillations, and fractal properties of a quantum spacetime. He is, however, best known for having first proposed noncommutative geometry as a tool for studying evaporating black holes beyond the semiclassical limit.
