Lectures on the Mechanical Foundations of Thermodynamics, 1st ed. 2021 SpringerBriefs in Physics Series
Auteur : Campisi Michele
Dr. Michele Campisi is a tenured Researcher at Italy’s National Research Council (CNR) working at the Institute for Nanoscience, in Pisa, Italy. He received his PhD in Physics in 2008 from the University of North Texas, USA for which he received the Robert S. Hyer Recognition for “Excellence in Research”, along with his supervisor, Prof. Don H. Kobe. He has been research fellow at the University of Augsburg, Germany, where he pursued an intense research programme on non-equilibrium thermodynamics of quantum systems with Prof. P. Hänggi and Prof. P. Talkner. In 2014 he was awarded a Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship with a project on “Non-equilibrium thermodynamic fluctuations in superconducting devices”, which he pursued at Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa, Italy. From 2017 to 2020 he was Assistant Professor at Università degli studi di Firenze, where he has been teaching general physics for natural science majors, and statistical mechanics for Physics & Astronomy majors. His research interests range from the foundations and the pedagogy of statistical mechanics to quantum technologies.
