Biography
Roberto Onofrio's main research interests are in macroscopic quantum phenomena and their potential role for understanding the interplay between gravitation and the standard model of elementary particle physics. After graduating at the University of Rome 'La Sapienza', he has become a junior faculty at the University of Padua in 1991, and has spent extensive research periods at the University of Rochester (1989-92), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1997-2000), the Los Alamos National Laboratory (2001-2003), and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (2007-2015). Summer student at CERN in 1984, he has been the recipient of 'Enrico Persico' fellowships of the National Academy of the Lincei in A.Y. 1984/85 and 1985/86, a CNR fellowship in 1991, a CNR-NATO 'Advance Fellowship programme' fellowship in 1997. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society since 2009, Outstanding Referee of the American Physical Society since 2012, and Distinguished Referee of the European Physical Journal in 2014 and 2015.
