Biography
Mario SALERNO has been a Professor of Matter Structure (SSD FIS / 03) since 2002 at the University of Salerno. He has worked at numerous Universities and Foreign Research Centers, including the Los Alamos National Laboratory USA, Arizona University, USA, the Technical University of Denmark, the Karlsrhue Institute of Technology, Germany, the Australian National University, Canberra . He has dealt with the following topics: Josephson junctions nonlinear phenomena, fully integrable classical and quantum systems, solitons and shock waves, localization problems in discrete systems, dynamic properties of the DNA molecule, strongly correlated electronic systems, Bose-Einstein's condensation . He introduced a non-linear Schrodinger model bearing his name (Phys. Rev. A 46)(1992) 6856-6859; and "Salerno Equation" in the Encyclopedia of Nonlinear Science, Routledge, Taylor and Francis Group (2004)), and some non-linear models for the DNA molecule (Phys. Rev. B 44 (1991) 5292, J. Biol. Phys. 30 (2004) 203). Currently he deals with Bose-Einstein (BEC) condensates of ultra cool atoms in optical lattices. He is author of approximately 200 publications for a total of more than 3200 quotes, with H = 30 index. He is a referee of several international journals and a member of the Advisory Committee for Physics at the University of Lisbon, Portugal.
