1 Name, place and date of birth
Fabio Bagarello, born in Palermo, Italy, 06/05/1964, married with two children.
2 Degree
Graduated with honours at the Institute of Physics, University of Palermo, on 12 February 1987. Thesis entitled ”Non-Standard Analysis in Classical Mechanics and in Perturbative Methods of Quantum Mechanics”. Supervisor Prof. S. Valenti.
3 Magister and Ph.D
He has taken his Magister Philosophiae Degree with honours on 18 October 1989 at the International School for Advanced Studies, Trieste, Italy. Thesis entitled ”Thermodynamical Limit and Boundary Effects in Long Range Spin Models”. Supervisor Prof. F. Strocchi.
He has taken his Doctor Philosophiae Degree on 21 October 1991 at the International School for Advanced Studies, Trieste. Thesis entitled ” Electrons in a Magnetic Field, Wigner Crystal and the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect”. Supervisor Prof. F. Strocchi.
4 Scholarships
After the Ph.D. and before getting his permanent position, he won two scholarships offered by the ”Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica” and by ”Associazione Angelo Della Riccia”. These scholarships have been used respectively to stay one more year in Trieste, and then four months in Louvain-La-Neuve, Belgium. In 1997 he also won a scholarship to spend six months in London, England, and in 2000 he obtained a Vito Volterra fellowship.
