## Biography

Born in Bari on 6 July 1948, he was awarded the Laurea cum laude in Physics at the University of Bari on 29 March 1972.

Before becoming a full professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Bari in 1994, he served as a fellow (1974-77), assistant professor (1977-1983) and associate professor of Statistical Mechanics (1983-1994) at the same university.

He has also been Visiting Scientist at CERN-Geneva (April–July 1983), at JINR-Dubna USSR (May–July 1987), at Centre de Physique Theorique-CNRS, Marseille (July–December 1984) and Paris (July 1994); Professor at the University of Marseille-Aix-en-Provence (September 1990); Scientific Associate at the Theory Division of CERN (Fall-Winter 1999–2000) and at CTP-MIT (Fall 2002).

Author of about 200 scientific papers and proceedings, and a widely used university textbook on Quantum Mechanics, he was national coordinator of the INFN-funded research project "Phenomenology of Gauge Theories" (BA21); national coordinator of the INFN-funded "Neuronet" research project; coordinator of the Theory Group of INFN-Bari; coordinator of national relevant research projects funded by the Italian Ministry of Education.

The chief organizer of several workshops on High Energy Physics and editor of their proceedings, he served also as Director of the Center TIRES (Center of Innovative Technologies for Signal Detection and Processing) at the University of Bari and Director of the postgraduate course on Technologies for Peace and Disarmament at the University of Bari, Italy.
