Biography of Dr. Stefano Bellucci
Dr. Prof. habil. Stefano Bellucci obtained in 1982 the Laurea in Physics Degree at Univ. Sapienza Rome (summa cum laude) and in 1986 his Ph.D. in Physics of elementary particles at SISSA, Trieste. He worked as Research Associate at Brandeis Univ., Waltham, MA, USA (1983-1985); as visiting researcher at M.I.T., Cambridge, MA, USA (1985-1986), at Univ. of Maryland, USA (1986-1987), at Univ. of California at Davis, USA (1987-1988).
He was appointed as a Tenured Researcher (Research Staff) at INFN (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare) Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (LNF) in 1987. He was appointed as INFN First Researcher (Senior Research Staff) in 2005. Italy Ministry of University in 2013 habilitated him as Full Professor in Theoretical Physics of Fundamental Interactions and in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics. He coordinated (1999-2002, 2011-2015) all LNF theoretical physics activities. His research interests include theoretical physics, condensed matter, biophysics, physical chemistry, nanoscience and nanotechnology, nanocarbon based composites, toxicology, biomedical applications. His lab cultivated over 40 PhD and master students. He published 600 papers with 14016 citations (4717 citations since 2016) in peer-reviewed journals with Hirsch index h = 55, and 20 invited book chapters, http://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=mOq8urEAAAAJ.

Received B.W. Lee Prize at Erice School of Subnuclear Physics (Erice, Italy) 1982. In 1980 he was selected as Summer student at CERN (Geneva). He is Editor-in-chief of Section Carbon MDPI Materials; Series Editor of Springer Lecture Notes in Nanoscale Science and Technology; Associate Editor of Hindawi Journal of Nanomaterials. He is Director of the NATO Emerging Security Challenges Division, SPS Programme projects “Nanocomposite based photonic crystal sensors of biological and chemical agents.” He is Principal Investigator of Time2Quest Condensed Matter Theory INFN CSN4 project, and of Research Group Projects 2020 “High Pressure Sanification of Water for Foodborne Virus removal (HPSWFood)”.
He is INFN scientist in charge of the Ministry for University and Research project “a Smart Framework for vIrus Detection (SFIDE).”
