- I was
born in Rome in 1954. I am married with one son - I am a
Physicist - I am an
expert in Physical Oceanography, Theoretical Climatology and Dynamical
Systems Theory - I have
been a Full Professor and, previously, an Associate Professor and Researcher
in Italian universities (S.S.D. GEOS-04/C-04, ex GEO-12). I am retired from
November 2024 EDUCATION - I received my
"Laurea" in Physics "Magna Cum Laude" at the "La
Sapienza" University of Rome in December 1977 - At that time there was not
yet a formal PhD in the Italian University system (it was later introduced by
the “Legge n. 28, 21/02/1980”; the first 3-year PhD cycle started in 1984).
The Laurea and a subsequent research activity in Italy and/or abroad
(supported mainly by the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche - CNR) was the typical training of Italian
scientists. I carried out my post-Laurea research activity at the Department
of Physics of the “La Sapienza” University of Rome and at the Department of
Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics of the University of Cambridge
(UK), with support from the CNR Professional
Experience - I have
held the following positions at Italian Universities: ·
1984-1997: Ricercatore Universitario (Tenured
Assistant Professor) at the Istituto Universitario Navale of Naples (Institute of Meteorology and
Oceanography); ·
1997-2002: Associate Professor at the University of L’Aquila (Department
of Physics); ·
2002-2006: Associate Professor at the Parthenope University of Naples
(Department of Environmental Sciences); ·
2006-2024: Full Professor at the Parthenope University of Naples
(Department of Science and Technology). ·
I am retired from November 2024. - I have benefited from
several grants that have allowed me to visit the following universities as a
visiting scientist: ·
University of Cambridge (Cambridge, UK) for 20 months (1981-82); ·
University of Florida (Gainesville, FL, USA) for 6 months (1985-86); ·

for 8 months (1987). - I have visited the following
universities and research centres in the framework of European
Commission projects and for other projects: ·
CNRS (Grenoble, France) for 2 months (1997, 2019); ·
Hamburg University (Hamburg, Germany) for 2 months (1998); ·

Hungary: Institute of Theoretical Physics, Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest (2020); ·
Germany: Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden
(2023). Research Interests - My most
recent research interest concerns the dynamical systems characterization of
the link between orbital forcing and glacial terminations implied by the
Milankovitch hypothesis. To this respect I have proposed a dynamical systems
paradigm denoted deterministic excitation, which I have applied to the late
Pleistocene ice age. - One of my
main current research interests is the analysis of the pullback attractors of
nonautonomous chaotic nonlinear dynamical systems, and the role the knowledge
of such time-dependent attractors may play in improving our understanding of
the system’s intrinsic variability. The nonlinear mathematical tools used in
the numerical analyses include both low-dimensional systems of coupled
ordinary differential equations and the partial differential equations
describing the fluid motion of large-scale oceans in a rotating reference
frame. - In recent
years I have conducted process-oriented modeling studies on nonlinear western
boundary currents -and on the intrinsic low-frequency variability of their
extensions- through both a hierarchy of mathematical models (ranging from
low-order models to the primitive equations of geophysical fluid dynamics)
and laboratory experiments with rotating platforms. I have paid particular
attention to the Kuroshio Extension and the Gulf Stream. The analyses are
based on geophysical fluid dynamics and nonlinear dynamical systems theory,
are validated through altimetric data and are carried out in the general
context of climate dynamics. Several studies, based on novel mathematical
techniques, are devoted to analyzing the predictability of Kuroshio Extension
transition processes. - Other
model studies are concerned with the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (and, more
in general, the Southern Ocean) and the coastal circulation in the Southern
Tyrrhenian Sea, with particular attention to the Campania Coastal System and
the Gulf of Naples. - Other
less recent researches have been concerned with (i) linear aspects of the
wind-driven ocean circulation, including Rossby wave propagation; (ii)
regional and coastal oceanographic modelling; (iii) nonlinear and dispersive
long wave modelling based on the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation; (iv)
nonlinear stability analysis of geophysical flows. Funding - Roles
