superconducting films for accelerating cavities ''; In the scientific and organizing Committees of 15 major
symposia/conferences (EPAC, SATT, WOE, SUPERFOX, ICMTHC); Referee of prestigious international
journals and reviews; Since 1988 he has performed Physics teaching activity in several courses at the
University of Salerno and at the University of Cagliari and has been the supervisor of many Laurea Degree
and Ph.D thesis works. Provided extensive research opportunities in Physics, Materials Engineering and
Biophysics with one-on-one advising to more than 25 undergraduate and graduate students doing research in
my labs, of which 15 were female. These students have co-authored several publications and presented at
national conferences.
