The INAF PhD Schools "Francesco Lucchin" are addressed to PhD students in Astronomy and Physics, and are also open to interested young researchers. The aim of the schools is to contribute to their qualification by presenting a series of lectures on two of the most forefront research topics and providing a common cultural baseline on hot topics of international research, both observational and theoretical.
Our intention is to offer students two schools per year, and our program covers the following tentative topics:
2027:
-
2027, Sept 13-17 Poggio all'Agnello (LI): "Cosmology and the large-scale structure and adaptive optics for ELT"
Chairs: Guzzo, Pinna
2028:
-
TBD: "The ELT revolution: from stellar systems to extragalactic cases"
Chairs: Marconi, Mucciarelli
-
TBD: "High-resolution solar physics and galaxy dynamics"
Chairs: Reale, Ermolli, Corsini
Planning over the medium to long term allows students to choose the most interesting schools during their three-year course. For more info, visit https://indico.ict.inaf.it/e/scuoleLucchin
Francesco Lucchin
Francesco Lucchin was born in Santorso (Vicenza) on January 30, 1944 and died on May 24, 2002.
After attending high school in Schio, he graduated in Physics from the University of Padua in 1968 with a thesis on galaxy formation. He became a full professor of Cosmology in Padua in 1990 and served as the head of the Department of Astronomy at the same university for the last eight years of his life. He focused his scientific interests primarily on the field of theoretical cosmology, establishing a highly regarded research group in Padua that gained international recognition. He was responsible for founding the National School of Astrophysics, where he always served as the Coordinator of the Scientific Committee.
