Prof. Dr. Fulvio Parmigiani.

Fulvio Parmigiani (*March 3, 1949, Cremona) is an established Italian physicist known for his contributions to non-equilibrium physics, photoinduced phase transitions, spectroscopies of strongly correlated electron systems, magnetic materials, and emerging materials.

Education and Early Career

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Parmigiani obtained his Doctorate in Physics (Laurea) in 1973 from the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, University of Milan, Italy. Subsequently, he joined the quantum electronic division of CISE in Segrate, Milan, in 1976 where he researched on the optical and electronic properties of metal clusters.

After his stint as a research scientist at the CISE Division of Quantum Optics in Milan, Italy (1976-1984), Parmigiani served as a visiting scientist twice at the IBM Research Center in San José, CA, USA (1984-1985 and 1989-1990), working on the electronic structure of supported metal clusters and metallic layers under non-equilibrium conditions. Concurrently, he commenced experimental activities studying the physics of strongly correlated electron systems and High-Temperature Superconductors (HTSCs).

Parmigiani also held key roles at the CISE in Milan, Italy, as a Senior Researcher in Material Science Division (1986-1988) and later as a Senior Scientist (1991-1993).

Advanced Career

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

In 1994, Parmigiani made strides in academia when he commenced a full professorship in physics at the Polytechnic University of Milan, Italy. He held this position until 1997, after which he transitioned to the Catholic University Brescia, Italy, as a Full professor of Physics. His tenure there lasted from 1997 to 2005.

In tandem with his teaching career, from 1997 to 2019, Parmigiani served as a research associate at Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste, Italy, where he made significant contributions to the FERMI Free Electron Laser (FEL) scientific program.

By 2005, Parmigiani had become a Professor of Physics at the University of Trieste, Italy, a position he held until 2020. In this period, he also held esteemed professorships at the University of Groningen (Netherlands) as a Zernike Professor in 2012-2013, and at the University of Cologne (Germany), as part of the International Faculty from 2013 to present.

He was also honored with appointments as a Visiting Professor at Radboud University Nijmegen (Netherlands) from 2019 to 2020.

In 2019, Parmigiani became an Elettra Fellow, continuing his long-standing association with Sincrotrone Trieste. As of 2020, Parmigiani holds the title of Professor Emeritus at the University of Trieste.

Additonally, Parmigiani held several coordinator and team leading roles, including the national coordinator of the INFM/PRA "Elphos" project in 1998, and the national coordinator for the MIUR-PRIN projects on femtosecond time-resolved experiments in 1998, 2000, 2003, 2005, and 2008.

Key Contributions

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Parmigiani has been associated with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, since 2001, contributing to multiple research projects including LUX, BELLA, and NGLS.

In 2003, he began coordinating the scientific case for the FERMI Free Electron Laser (FEL) at Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste and currently leads the scientific program.

Research Timeline in Physics and Material Science

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
  • 1977-1982: Coherent Optics and Speckle-Pattern Interferometry - During this period, groundbreaking studies on coherent optics were undertaken, leading to the first random data analysis of interferometric signals through speckle-pattern interferometry.
  • 1982-1986: Quantum Confinement and Metal Clusters - Research focused on the quantum confinement effects impacting the optical and electron properties of metal clusters, revealing new insights into these fundamental processes.
  • 1986-Present: Electron-Correlated Materials and High-Temperature Superconductors - Continued exploration of strongly electron-correlated materials, including magnetism and high-temperature superconductors (HTSCs). Investigations included core level (XPS) and valence band (ARPES-RIXS) electronic structures, as well as magnetic properties (XMCD and XMLD). Studies also covered photo-induced phase transitions, non-equilibrium physics, and phase transitions in manganites and ruthenates.
  • 1998-Present: Time-Resolved Spectroscopy and Ultrafast Processes - Pioneering experiments in time-resolved optical and photoelectron spectroscopy were conducted, including super-continuum time-resolved optical spectroscopy and both linear and non-linear time-resolved photoemission. Research also explored time and spin-resolved photoemission and image potential states in metals and graphite, aiming to clarify the ultrafast processes in condensed and soft matter.
  • 2001-2015: Contributions to FEL Facilities and Photon Science - Significant contributions were made to the conceptual design and scientific development of major facilities like LUX (LBNL), FERMI@Elettra, and NGLS (LBNL). Efforts included advancing FEL photon beam transport, photon beam diagnostics, and establishing FEL experimental end-stations.
