讲座人简介：

Prof. Carlo Rubbia was born in Gorizia on 31st March 1934. He graduated in Physics at Scuola Normale of Pisa. In 1959 he obtained his PhD from Columbia University (USA).

In early 1983, an international team of more than 100 physicists headed by Carlo Rubbia and known as the UA1 Collaboration, detected the intermediate vector bosons. In 1984 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for this discovery together with Simon van der Meer.

From 2005 to 2009 he was the principal Scientific Adviser of the Spanish Research Centre for Energy, Environment and Technology (CIEMAT), since 2007 he was a member of the high-level Advisory Group on Energy andClimate Changeset up by EU's President Barroso. In 2009 he was appointed Special Adviser for Energy to the Secretary General of ECLAC, the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean.

From 2010 to 2015 he was the Scientific Director of the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS e.V.) in Potsdam, where he has identified and developed new technological solutions to meet the energy challenges of the future. Key aspects of these activities targeted improving the reliability of renewable energy sources, developing more efficient electric-power transmission technologies and implementing low-carbon uses of fossil fuels. The research activities followed an interdisciplinary approach to energy research, development and support for industrial innovation.

In August 2013 he was appointed Senator for life of the Italian Republic by President Napolitano.
