Dr. Stefano Bellucci
Dr. Prof. habil. Stefano Bellucci obtained in 1982 the Laurea in Physics Degree at Univ. Sapienza Rome (summa cum laude) and in 1986 his Ph.D. in Physics of elementary particles at SISSA, Trieste. He worked as Research Associate at Brandeis Univ., USA (1983-1985); as visiting researcher at M.I.T., Cambridge, USA (1985-1986), at Univ. of Maryland, USA (1986-1987), at Univ. of California at Davis, USA (1987-1988). He was appointed as a Tenured Researcher (Research Staff) at INFN (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare) Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (LNF) in 1987. He was appointed as INFN First Researcher (Senior Research Staff) in 2005. He coordinated (1999-2002, 2011-2015) all LNF theoretical physics activities.
Since 2018 he is contract Professor of Nanotechnology for Electrical Applications at the University of Cassino and Lazio Meridionale. Contract Professor of Quantum Mechanics (Physics III), for third year students in the Diploma Course in Physical Methods (2000-2022), Department of Physics, University of Roma Tre. He published 600 papers with 14487 citations (4645 citations since 2017) with Hirsch index h = 57, and 20 invited book chapters, http://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=mOq8urEAAAAJ. Editor and/or co-author of over 10 books with Springer. He is in the list of Top Italian Scientists published by VIAAcademy.
Received B.W. Lee Prize at Erice School of Subnuclear Physics (Italy) 1982. He was in 2007-2010 INFN Scientist and technologist in charge for EU FP7-ICT-2007-1 Collaborative Project CATHERINE "Carbon nAnotube Technology for Highspeed nExt-geneRation nano-InterconNEcts".
He is Director of the NATO Emerging Security Challenges Division, SPS Programme projects "Nanocomposite based photonic crystal sensors of biological and chemical agents," "Development of Biosensors using Carbon Nanotubes".
