FEATURED AUTHOR
Giorgio Franceschetti
I was born in Italy, I studied in Italy and United States, and I hold now both Italian and American citizenship, splitting my time (50/50) between these two nations. My main interest is electro-physics, which I love: making research in the area, lecturing, presenting innovative results, writing papers and books has enriched all my life. I have a wonderful family, tolerating my additional love.
