I have acquired a wide experience as system physicist, mainly in the fields of space physics and in the microwaves/millimeter waves fields (optics, receivers, antennae etc.). I have, during the past decades, consolidated a national and international managerial experience, leading projects, Institutes and Research Groups as well as serving as scientific and technical advisor of national and international Organisations and Agencies. I have a vaste experience in the evaluation of scientific and technological projects. As Principal Investigator and leader of one of the two experiments aboard the Planck ESA satelllite I am managing an International Consortium of Universities, Research Groups and Industries which has involved, during the mission life more than 1000 scientist, engineers and technical people. It represents a successful mission story (see results in professional Journal and popular magazione and Journals). About 1500 scientists and engineers have been involved in the satellite technical management and scientific data analysis. I have been Director of a CNR Institute and an INAF Institute, managing about 100 people , since 1994 until 2010. In the year 2004 I have started the INAF Technological Transfer Office which I have led until 2010. In six years the INAF TTO has registered 20 new patents and started the activities of four Spin-Off Companies, the first among them has represented Italy in the 2010 Shangai (2010) World Expo. Presently I am giving lectures on “Technological Transfer and innovation” at IUSS – University of Ferrara and on “Space Science” at the Department of Physics and Earth Sciences” of University of Ferrara. My scientific and technological career is proven by: More than 320 pubblications in Scientific and Technical referred Journals More than 500 internal and technical reports 2 More than 1000 internal documents/reports related to the development of space missions (e.g. ISO, Planck) More than 7600 citations H-index: 47 Five Awards to the career I served as chairman/member numerous national and international Workshop/Comference organising committies and invited to give national and international talks and colloquia (more than 300). I have more than 40 years of experience in the advancement and organisation of the research and management/evalutation of scientific and technological activities. I have contributed to the advancement of the scientific knowledge giving popular talks, colloquia, exhibitions. and as author of papers in Journals (e.g. “Le Scienze”, “le Stelle”, “Science”, CERN Courier, Space Magazine and others). I have been interviewed by a large number scientific Journals, radio and television broadcastings. In my academic career I have been supervising a large number of physics and astronomy degree and PHD thesis of students of the University of Bologna and Ferrara. I am presently a Professor of the University of Ferrara (Department of Physics and Earth Sciences) and IUSS-University of Ferrara.. In the most recent years I have also been deeply involved in Earth Observing activities as well as in Geopolitics. 3
