Biography
I have got my degree in Physics in 1985. Since 1986, I have been working in Florence at the Physics Dpt, first as a Technologist, then as a University Researcher, currently Associated Professor, Faculty of Science, where I teach several basic courses for students of Technologies for the cultural heritage. My research activity deals with experimental nuclear physics, both basic and applied. In the former field, the main activity was the study of heavy ion beam reactions at a rate between few MeV / A and 20 MeV / A, with special reference to the analysis of fusion-fission and fusion-evaporation reaction mechanisms.
Research Interest
As for the research activity in the field of applied nuclear physics, I have been one of the promoters of the development of the Florence Accelerator Lab as a center for IBA analysis in the fields of Cultural Heritage and Environmental Problems. In the latter field in particular, I am currently the research leader of the many activities carried out in the lab.
