Short Summary
A.M. received a M.Sc. degree (Laurea) in Physics from the University of Pisa in
1995 with honors (110/110 cum laude) and a Ph.D. degree in Physics from the
Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa in 1999 with honors (70/70 cum laude).
A.M. has been active in laser-matter interaction at very high intensities, beginning as an experimentalist (mostly working on X-ray emission from laser-produced
plasmas) and later focusing on theory and simulation, still in close contact with
experimental work. He has given contributions on topics such as collisionless absorption, surface wave excitation, ion acceleration, nonlinear coherent structures.
A.M. is a staff research scientist with CNR/INO since 2010. Previously he was with
CNR/INFM (2003-2009). He held a postdoctoral position at the Darmstadt University of Technology (1998-2000), and an International Fellowship at the Queen’s
University of Belfast (2008). He participated to many collaborative European and
Italian projects, also as principal investigator or local coordinator since 2005.
A.M. is the author or coauthor of about 70 publications on peer reviewed journals
(with a H-index of 22 to date, ISI data) including a Review of Modern Physics
and 11 Physical Review Letters, the single author of a textbook on Laser-Plasma
Interactions (Springer, 2013) and the first author of a textbook with 100 problems
of Classical Electromagnetism (in Italian). He presented tens of seminars and talks
(both invited and contributed) to international conferences and schools. He has
been serving as a referee for about 30 international journals and 6 funding and
evaluation agencies of different countries.
A.M. collaborates since 2002 to teaching activities at the Physics Department of
the University of Pisa for the undergraduate (B.Sc.), postgraduate (M.Sc.) and
doctorate (Ph.D.) programs. He gives two lecture courses of Plasma Physics since
2009 and is Lecturer of Classical Electrodynamics since 2012. He has been the
supervisor of 2 Ph.D., 11 M.Sc. and 17 B.Sc. students to date.
