CURRICULUM VITAE of dr. ALDO MORSELLI
Dr. Aldo Morselli is First Researcher of the INFN Section at the University of Roma "Tor Vergata".
The main fields of interest are: Astroparticle Physics, Multi-messenger Astrophysics and search for Dark Matter in Cosmic and Gamma rays.
He is the Coordinator of the AGILE, Fermi and CTA experiments in the same Section. He is author of over 590 publications on refereed international journals with an h-index of 123 (Scopus) and he is member of the PhD College of teachers of the University of Roma "Tor Vergata"
The list of publications with the link to the published papers can be found in the web page https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7704-9553
He was Co-Investigator in all the balloon flight campaign of the WiZard collaboration: MASS, MASS91, TS93 and Caprice and he was involved in the design and construction of four satellite experiments : NINA, PAMELA AGILE and GLAST (now Fermi). He won with the Fermi Collaboration the 2011 Bruno Rossi Prize of the High Energy Astrophysics Division of the American Astronomical Society for enabling, through the development of the Large Area Telescope, new insights into neutron stars, supernova remnants, cosmic rays, binary systems, active galactic nuclei, and gamma-ray bursts and the 2012 Bruno Rossi Prize with the AGILE Team for the discovery of transient gamma-ray emission from the Crab Nebula.
Funding
From September 2015 to February 2020 he was National Responsible for INFN of the Grant AHEAD Integrated Activities for the High Energy Astrophysics Domain of the European Commission in the context of Horizon 2020 for 95,000 euros (the total of the project is 5 million euros ).
In particular, within WP9, infrastructures and tools have been developed for the development of an instrument concept, based on cutting-edge technologies, to be proposed for the next generation of gamma-ray observatories.
