Since July 1980 he has been a researcher at the Faculty of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the University of Salerno. Since June 2000 he is a professor in the same faculty. SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY: After a brief initial phase on the Theory of Field Problems, the research activity was directed to the study of Phase Transitions in classical and quantum systems (both pure and quenched disorder) of current significance for multiple experimental connections. In particular, with the analysis of the effects of quantum fluctuations in bosonic and fermionic systems around quantum critical points, the current phase of intense research activity relating to abnormal low temperature behavior of unpublished materials has been anticipated for many years satisfactorily from the usual Landau theory for Fermi's liquids. Studies on quantum spin glasses, quadrupole glasses and, more recently, on the theoretical description of the spin glass beyond the average field. Finally, in view of recent experiments on atomic systems diluted in magnetic and optical traps, a research (particularly interesting for the experimental implications) has been started on interacting bosons with magnetic moments presenting the unusual properties of so-called "Bose ferromagnetism -Einstein "as an additional manifestation of the most conventional condensation of Bose-Einstein (BEC). This study suggests new experimental tests on BEC in atomic systems diluted in optical traps. At present, research is focused on the problem of zero-temperature critical points caused by fluctuations due to quantum dynamics (principle of indetermination).
