Curriculum

 Laureato in Fisica nel 1965. Per quasi venticinque anni ho svolto attività di ricerca nell'ambito della Relatività Generale, occupandomi di problemi legati alla struttura matematica delle equazioni di Einstein e allo studio della meccanica e della termodinamica relativistica dei continui. Dal 1989 ho spostato i miei interessi sugli aspetti geometrici della meccanica analitica, occupandomi del comportamento di sistemi soggetti a vincoli cinetici. La mia  attività di ricerca attuale verte sugli aspetti geometrici  della teoria del controllo e del calcolo variazionale anolonomo. Sono stato responsabile della Sezione n. 5 (Relatività e Teoria dei Campi) del Gruppo Nazionale per la Fisica Matematica del CNR, e presidente del Consiglio Scientifico dell'Istituto di Matematica Applicata del CNR.
