Since 1998 - he conceived the first campaign of measurements with CHIMERA within large Int. Collaborations (see: A. Pagano, Nuclear Physics News, Vol. 22, N0.1, 2012). He is at present member of the CHIRONE-INFN experiment.

Scientific activity: Experimental nuclear physics. He studied: - Break-up; Fission-Fusion; Deep-inelastic; Fragmentation, Transfer reactions, Multifragmentation, EOS of nuclear matter, Exotic nuclei.  He promoted innovative equipment’s in heavy ion physics collecting data in European  lab. (LNS, Saclay, GANIL, GSI) and some of them installed at LNS: Vacuum Chamber 2000CT, CHIMERA (1192 Si-CsI(Tl)) multi-detectors. He devotes interest in general physics (education).
