Ignazio Ciufolini (born 1951) is an
gravitational physics and general relativity
.
Biography
Ignazio Ciufolini graduated magna cum laude in 1980 at Sapienza University of Rome, and received a PhD in Physics in 1984 at the University of Texas at Austin under the supervision of Richard Matzner.[1]
From 1982 to 1988 he worked at University of Texas at Austin as a teaching assistant, lecturer and research associate. He is now an Associate Professor of General Physics at
laser ranged satellites LAGEOS and LAGEOS-2.[7][8][9] He was featured on the cover of the September 6, 2007 issue of Nature, dedicated to his review paper on Dragging of Inertial Frames and General Relativity.[7] He is the Principal Investigator for the Italian Space Agency (ASI) of the Laser Relativity Satellite (LARES) mission, a space mission aimed to improve the accuracy of the measurement of frame-dragging.[citation needed
]
In 2010 he won the
Giuseppe Occhialini Medal and Prize, jointly awarded by the Italian Physical Society and the Institute of Physics.[10]
He has been accused of publishing papers on the scientific pre-print archive arXiv.org under pseudonyms, such as G. Felici,[11] and G. Forst[12] which is a violation of the arXiv terms.[13][14][15]
