Enrico Fermi, Atomic Physics Lectures

Aldo Treves graduated with a degree in Physics under G. Occhialini in 1968. He has since engaged in scientific and academic activity at the University of Milan; the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; SISSA, Trieste; and the University of Insubria, Como. His main areas of research are: the astrophysics of collapsed objects, theoretical aspects, and observations with space and ground-based instrumentation.Pasquale Tucci has been a professor of the History of Physics at the Universita’ degli Studi di Milano. He was co-editor, together with P. Redondi, G. Sironi, and G. Vegni, of the book The Scientific Legacy of Beppo Occhialini  (SIF, Springer, 2006). His last paper, written with L. Gariboldi, was ‘Occhialini’s Memoirs, ‘ Giornale di Fisica 2022 63:1-73.
