Luigi Lugiato
Luigi Lugiato (born December 17, 1944) is an Italian physicist and professor emeritus at University of Insubria (Varese/Como). He is best known for his work in theoretical nonlinear and quantum optics, and especially for the Lugiato–Lefever equation (LLE,). He has authored more than 340 scientific articles, and the textbook ''Nonlinear Dynamical Systems'' (with F. Prati and M. Brambilla). His work has been theoretical but has stimulated a large number of important experiments in the world. It is also characterized by the fact of combining the classical and quantum aspects of optical systems. __TOC__ Education, career and research Lugiato received his doctor of Physics degree, summa cum laude, from the University of Milan, Italy, on March 13, 1968.

Italian Physical Society
The (SIF) or Italian Physical Society was founded in 1897 and is a non-profit organization whose aim is to promote, encourage, protect the study and the progress of physics in Italy and in the world. It is associated with the journal series ''Nuovo Cimento''. SIF also publishes the academic journals '' Quaderni di Storia della Fisica'' and '' Giornale di Fisica''. Some of the ''Nuovo Cimento'' journals were merged with '' European Physical Journal'' in 1986 and with '' Europhysics Letters'' in 1999. '' Il Bolletino della Società Italiana di Fisica'' was published from 1956 to 1984. In 1984, it became '' Il Nuovo Saggiatore'' ("The New Assayer"). The SIF organizes an annual national congress of study at one of the Italian universities. Its other major initiatives are the management of the "Enrico Fermi" International School of Physics (an annual summer school held in Varenna), and the organization of conferences on specific topics. There are two types of membership in SIF: regu ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Istituto Lombardo Accademia Di Scienze E Lettere
The Istituto Lombardo Accademia di Scienze e Lettere is an Italian academy founded by Napoleon in 1797. At the time of the foundation the Istituto was an institution of the Cisalpine Republic and its name was Istituto Nazionale della Repubblica Cisalpina. The first location of the Istituto was Bologna and the academy was bound to include no more than 60 members. The first 31 were appointed by Napoleon in 1802 and the first president was Alessandro Volta, who started serving in 1803. The Istituto was concerned with Natural Sciences, Political Sciences and Arts. Upon requests of its members, in 1810 Napoleon changed the name of the Istituto in Istituto Reale di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti. Its new location was Palazzo Brera in Milan, where it is still located nowadays. Additional sections were then added in Bologna, Verona, Padua and Venice. At Napoleon's fall the Istituto passed under the administration of the Austrian government and then, since 1859 until today, under the admi ...
