Fiorani

Dino Fiorani is researcher emeritus of the CNR. He graduated in Chemistry (Rome) and he got the PhD in Physics (Grenoble). He was Director of ISM (2008-2013) and President of the Research  Area Roma II (2012/2013). His research activity is on magnetism, especially nanoparticle magnetism. He was awarded the Doctorate Honoris Causa from the University of Uppsala (2020) for the advancement of knowledge in the magnetic properties of nanoparticles. He is chair of the Steering Committee of the “International Conference on Fine particles Magnetism” he founded in 1991. He published 273 papers (h: 42).
Since 1989, he has continued to carry out coordinating functions at national and European level: GNSM Magnetism Sector (1989-1992); INFM Section “Materials for magnetic and superconducting devices” (1997-1999); Section “Magnetic and superconducting systems and devices” of the Department “Materials and Devices”; founder and President (2011-2017) of the Italian Magnetism Association; President of the Magnetism European Conferences (2015-2018); President of the European Magnetism Association (2016-2019). He served the IUPAP) as member of the Magnetism Commission (2006-2011) and Italian representative for Physics (2011-2014).
He was coordinator of a European Project (HIDEMAR) awarded with a prize Descartes. He was chairman of international conferences, among which the “International Conference on Magnetism” (2003), and Director of schools. He was invited speaker in many international conferences. He was member of the Panel “Condensed matter physics” of  the ERC grants (2011-2014). He is Editor of books and Advisory Editor of Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials. He is Fellow of the American Physical Society.
He was Director of the “Center of  Nanomaterials research” of the University of Kaliningrad (2015-2018).

From 2008 to 2013 the Institute was directed by Dr. Dino Fiorani. During his term there was a further development of the integration process between the two components of the Institute, and of the interdisciplinary character of the research crossing physics, chemistry and materials science. Moreover, the scientific interest progressively moved towards the study of the structural and electronic properties of functional materials and their applications. Moreover, the Institute promoted the interaction of the Research Area of Tor Vergata with the territory (starting with the organization of a meeting with the companies, including lab tour), played an important role in the establishment of the agreement between CNR and Lazio Region and coordinated a team of CNR groups, involving Institutes of the Physics and Chemistry Departments, in the KIC (Knowledge Innovation Community) “Raw Materials” of the EIT (European Institute of Innovation&Technology).
