Alberto Pellizzoni

A. Pellizzoni was born in Milan, Italy, in 1971. He graduated in physics (Hons.), in 1997. His formation and career involved activities related to astrophysical instrumentation development, operation and management, and scientific research, collaborating with major institutions in Italy, such as the National Research Council of Italy (CNR), the Italian Space Agency (ASI), and the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF), where he has been serving as a Permanent Staff Researcher, since 2008. He worked as a Lecturer at the University of Cagliari (on observational astrophysics and techniques). In the period of 2008–2011, he was a part of the Scientific Council of INAF, as a member elected by the scientific community. He has contributed to instrument simulations and calibrations, development of scientific data analysis tools for ground-based facilities (in particular the Sardinia Radio Telescope, SRT), and space missions (for example the gamma-ray satellite AGILE). His scientific results are mostly related to multi-wavelength studies (from radio to gamma-rays) of compact Galactic sources, such as Neutron Stars and Black Holes and their environment (Pulsar Wind Nebulae, Supernova Remnants, and Galactic extended emission). He is the author of over 120 refereed publications on the above subjects. Since 2017, he has been focusing on a new challenging technological and scientific project: the development of radio solar imaging techniques and instrumentation for the monitoring of the Sun using the INAF radio telescopes (https://sites.google.com/inaf.it/sundish). He is a member of the INAF board dedicated to solar physics science and related space weather applications.
