Curriculum Vitae:

Vittorio Rosato graduated at the Physics Department of the University of Pisa (Italy) in 1979. The thesis work, entitled: "The study of the excitation-relaxation process of vibrational levels in liquids", was performed under the supervision of prof. Paolo Grigolini.
In 1979, he moved at the Chemistry Dept. of the University College of Wales in Aberystwyth with a SRC Research Assistentship, where he has been working in collaboration with prof. Graham Williams on topics related to the theory of diffusion in molecular liquids, the Kerr effect and dielectric relaxation in polymers  forming liquid-crystals.
In 1982 he started a collaboration with prof. Giovanni Ciccotti (Physics Dept. University of Roma "La Sapienza") on statistical mechanics models, Montecarlo and Molecular Dynamics techniques.
In 1983 he has been awarded by a EURATOM grant. He moved at Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique (CEA), at the Section de Recherches de Metallurgie Physique at the Centre d'Etudes Nucleaires de Saclay (France) where he performed the Ph.D. thesis work, in collaboration with proff. Vassilis Pontikis (CEA) , Giovanni Ciccotti (Roma "La Sapienza") and M. Gerl (Nancy I).
In 1986 he discussed the Ph. D. thesis at the University of Nancy I (France) entitled: "Etude de la structure atomique et des proprietes thermodynamiques des surfaces aux temperatures elevees par la dynamique moleculaire: mise en evidence d'une transition rugueuse sur la face compacte {110}"
In 1987 he has started a collaboration at ENEA, Casaccia Research Centre, on microscopic-scale simulations of radiation damage in metallic systems of interest in the Fusion Reactors technology.
In 1990 he became Staff Scientist at ENEA, at the Division of Innovative Materials.
In 1996, he moved at High Performance Computing & Networking Project at ENEA.
His main interests are in the field of Computational Materials Science, particularly in the field of metals (intermetallics properties, mechanical alloying, thermodynamic studies of metastable phases like metallic glasses) and covalent systems (Si- and C-based systems).
He is currently a member of the Scientific Committee of CASPURand one of the ENEA members in the Scientific Committee of the Progetto PQE2000.
