Short CV of Mario Salerno
Mario Salerno is a Professor of Solid State Physics
at the University of Salerno, Italy. He has been working in
many Universities
and international centers these including the Los
Alamos National Laboratory, USA, the University of Arizona,
USA, and the MIDIT at the Technical University of Denmark.
He has worked on the following areas: nonlinear
phenomena in Josephson junctions, classical and quantum integrable systems,
ergodic properties of
dynamical systems, solitons, shock waves, localization problems
in discrete systems, dynamical properties of
DNA molecules. Among the most significant results, there are
the introduction of a nonlinear model
which is a generalization of the tight binding Schrödinger model
for the dynamics of a quasiparticle in
a molecular crystal,
the development of the theory of the linewidth of a Josephson
oscillator, the development of the theory of phase locking
of fluxons in long Josephson junctions, the introduction of
group theoretical methods for exact diagonalizations
of strongly correlated electronic systems.
Moreover, he introduced the idea of chaos
suppression by weak external periodic signals, and he
introduced the first nonlinear model of DNA which attempts to relate
the dynamics to the functioning of the molecule. He is author of
more than 80 publications on international journals. He has
coordinated international projects and acts as referee for
several journals, among others Physical Review Letters and
Physical Review B. He has participated as invited
speaker to many international
conferences, several times as organizer or as member of the
Scientific Committee.
