Concepts in Quantum Many-Body Physics

Giampaolo Co’ graduated from the University of Bologna and obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Bonn. He was a Ph.D. student and Post-Doc at the Kernforschungszentrum in Juelich (Germany), at the University of Champaign-Urbana (Illinois), and research associate at the Lecce division of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics. Since 1992, he has been associate professor of Nuclear Physics at the University of Salento, where he teaches courses in thermodynamics, nuclear and subnuclear physics, quantum mechanics, and quantum theory of many-body systems. His research has always been focused on applying quantum many-body techniques to the study of strongly interacting nuclear systems. In particular, he has been interested in nuclear systems response to electroweak probes, photons, electrons, and neutrinos. He is the author of about 80 research articles and other 50 scientific publications. He is a scientific editor of Ithaca, an Italian popular science journal.
