Maurizio Giannotti, Ph.D.

OINED BARRY: AUGUST 2009 COURSES PHY 201, PHY 201 L (College Physics and college physics lab 1) PHY 202, PHY 202 L (College Physics and college physics lab 2) PHY-212 (University Physics 2) PHY 300 (Special Topics in Physics: Modern Physics) PHY 355 (Introduction to Quantum Mechanics) PHY 400 (Solid State and Materials Science) CHE 356 (Physical Chemistry 1: Quantum Mechanics) RESEARCH INTERESTS In the last years, I have been particularly interested in astroparticle physics, especially concerning light, weakly interacting particles such as axions, hidden photons and neutrinos. I have also interests in more formal aspects of quantum field theory and in particle physics.
