Luciano Ramello was born in 1956. He obtained his Physics degree from University of Turin in 1979.
CERN Research Fellow from 1981 till 1983.
Associate Professor of Experimental Physics since 1992; Full Professor since Dec. 2004 at Universita’ del Piemonte Orientale Amedeo Avogadro.
Scientific activity:
1. Neutrino interactions in deuterium, study of structure functions and fragmentation functions of hadrons in CERN experiment WA25 (1979-1985)
2. Hadronic production of beauty and charm particles in CERN experiments NA19, WA75 and WA78 (1981-1989)
3. Search for magnetic monopoles, study of cosmic muons and neutrinos in the MACRO experiment at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (1984-1990)
4. Interactions of ultrarelativistic light ions, search for Quark Gluon Plasma, Phase I: CERN experiments NA34, NA34/3, EMU09 at SPS, where he was responsible for the silicon detector system (1984-1996)
5. Interactions of ultrarelativistic heavy ions, search for Quark Gluon Plasma, Phase II: CERN experiments NA50, NA51 at SPS and ALICE at LHC; for NA50 he has been responsible for the Turin group and for the silicon charged multiplicity detector (1991-2005)
6. Development of detectors: silicon calorimetry, silicon microstrip detectors for particle physics (experiments SITRK, RD20, NA50 at CERN) and for digital radiography (1989-present).
Luciano Ramello has more than 500 publications on international journals.
Teaching activity:
Base Physics courses (Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism) and introductory Laboratory courses (Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electricity, Optics) at the University for students majoring in Physics, Chemistry, Biology.
Advanced courses on Particle Physics, Electronics and Radiation Detectors for students majoring in Physics. Course on Data Analysis Techniques for Ph.D. students.
He has supervised several theses for the Physics degree and for the Ph.D. degree at Universities of Turin and Eastern Piedmont.
