Emilio Del Giudice

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emilio Del Giudice (born January 1, 1940 in Naples , † January 31, 2014 ) was an Italian theoretical physicist .

Life

Del Giudice studied physics in Naples with a degree in 1961 and was an assistant professor in Naples from 1963 to 1976. From 1976 he was in Milan in the branch of the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), from 1988 as a senior scientist.

From 1969 to 1972 he was at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and from 1974 to 1976 at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen .

During the 1970s, he was, along with Sergio Fubini , Paolo Di Vecchia and Gabriele Veneziano , at the center of an active school of Italian theoretical physicists working on string theory , which at that time was still discussed as the theory of strong interaction (Dual Resonance Models ). He later dealt with biophysics and coherent electrodynamic phenomena in condensed matter, including the application of quantum field theory in biology. This also led him to largely rejected outsider theories about a hypothetical coherent structure of water (“memory of water”) and to cold fusion (partly with Giuliano Preparata ).

Awards

Del Giudice was awarded the Prigogine Medal of the Wessex Institute of Technology and the University of Siena in 2009.
