__________________________________________________________________________________
Giulia Galli
Professor of Chemistry at the University of California, Davis, and Associate Faculty at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where she was the head of the Quantum Simulations Group from 2000 to 2005. She received a Ph.D. in Physics from the International School of Advanced Studies in Trieste, Italy in 1986. She is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the recipient, in 2000, of a Department of Energy Award for "Technical Excellence in Advanced Simulations". In 2004 she received the Lawrence Livermore Science and Technology Award. Her current research activity is focused on quantum simulations of systems and processes relevant to condensed matter physics, physical chemistry, materials and nano-science.
Ugo Valbusa
Full Professor of Structure of the Matter; President of A.I.V. (Associazione Italiana Vuoto); Director of the Nanomed Lab, aimed to develop advanced nanotechnology, promoting new knowledge in the fields of genomics, post-genomics and biomedicine in general. Nanomed groups multidisciplinary expertise in molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics and physics and include companies operating in the market of biotechnology and advanced electronics.
Federico Bussolino
Full Professor of Biochemistry, University of Torino, School of Medicine. Research topics: Molecular mechanisms of endothelial cell differentiation and vessel maturation during angiogenesis.
Nan°arte:
Curated by Stefano Raimondi, the discoverer of this new art form, "Nan°art: seeing the invisible" is focused on the artistic use of nanotech tools. Alessandro Scali from Turin, and Robin Goode, a South African, conceived Actual Size, the smallest ever map of Africa. The artwork is a tiny sliver of silicon just a thousand or so atoms wide, made with atomic force microscopy, it is one of the ‘nanoartworks' shown in the duo's first exhibition last 2007 as part of the Bergamo science festival in Italy. Scali and Goode brought their concepts to Fabrizio Pirri, a physicist at Turin Polytechnic University. Pirri's group turned its atomic force microscope - usually used for biomedical engineering - to a modern form of lithography: the microscope's 10-nanometrewide tip oxidized individual atoms of the silicon to trace the shape of Africa.
