Biography
Lucio Calcagnile is Professor of Applied Physics at the University of Salento, Department of Mathematics and Physics "Ennio De Giorgi" since 2005. He has been a researcher since 1992 and Associate Professor since 1999. His research activity is concerned with the study of ion-material interaction, the development of new materials by ion bundles, the development and application of non-destructive nuclear dating and material analysis techniques, mass spectrometry with accelerator, applications of the cosmogenic isotopes to archeology, geology, environmental sciences, forensic science. The National Laboratories of Nuclear Physics of Legnaro, the FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics in Amsterdam, the Tandetron Laboratory of Gif sur Ivette, the AGLAE-CNR Laboratory in Paris, the Leibniz Labor of Kiel. He has commissioned CEDAD, the first Italian Center for Research and Radiocarbon dating service, currently headed by the University of Lecce. He coordinates the Applied Physics Group of the Department of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Salento. He held contact invitations at Schools and Conferences in Italy and in France, Belgium, Malta, Egypt, Holland, Australia, Hungary, USA. He has been Chairman of International Workshops and Co-Chair of the 11th International Conference on Accelerator Mass Spectrometry, held in Rome from 14 to 19 September 2008. He is a member of the Advisory Commitees of the International Radiocarbon and AMS Conferences. He is author of over 150 publications in international journals.
