Short Curriculum Vitae et Studiorum

Born in Catanzaro, on April 9th 1967.
First degree in physics at the University of Calabria, cum laude, on 22th July 1991. Title of the degree thesis: "Simulazioni numeriche in magnetoidrodinamica comprimibile" (Numerical simulations in compressible MHD). Thesis advisors: Prof. P. Veltri and Prof. F. Malara.
PhD Fellow from November 1991 to November 1994 at the University of Calabria. Title of the PhD thesis: "Propagazione di onde magnetoidrodinamiche nella Corona e nel Vento Solare: un approccio numerico" (Propagation of MHD waves in the solar corona and solar wind: a numerical approach).
Post doctoral fellow at the "Observatoire de Meudon-Paris", from January 1995 to December 1995. The research activity concerned the construction of a cylindrical, incompressible, MHD code for simulations of the dynamo effect in a laboratory device. Principal investigator of the project: Jacques Léorat.
Post doctoral fellowship at the "Astrophisikalisches Institut Potsdam", from January 1996 to July 1997. The research activity concerned the numerical simulation of thin and thick accretion discs. Principal investigator of the project: Günther Rüdiger.
Post doctoral fellow at the University of Calabria, from August 1997 to August 1999. The research activity concerned numerical simulations of the solar wind and MHD turbulence. Principal investigator of the project: P. Veltri.
Research Fellow at the University of Calabria, from August 2001 to December 2002. The research concerned numerical simulations of solar wind turbulence, fluid turbulence and MHD turbulence in plasma machines. Principal investigator of the project: P. Veltri.
Researcher at the Physics Department of the University of Calabria, since January 2003.
