Quantum Mechanics

Dr. U. Lombardo carried out his academic activity first as an Associate Professor and then as a Full Professor (1984-2015) in the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Catania (Italy), where he taught courses in Quantum Mechanics and Statistical Mechanics and headed the International PhD School in Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics. He was a research associate at INFN Sezione and Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (Catania), where he did research in Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics and promoted several research Projects funded by Italian and European Programmes. He retired in November 2015.  Dr. Gianluca Giuliani earned his master’s degree in physics and his PhD from the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Catania (Italy). He has been Post-Doctoral Research Associate of the Cyclotron Institute of the Texas A&M University (USA). His main research interests concern dynamical models for Heavy Ion Collisions and Nuclear Reactions. On leave School of Nuclear Science and Technology of Lanzhou University (China).Dr. Y. Niu earned her Bachelor's degree and her Phd from Peking University (China).
