Mauro Francaviglia (Torino, 22 June 1953 – Arcavacata, 24 June 2013) was an Italian mathematician.[1][2][3][4]
He was a professor at University of Torino and he worked mainly on geometric methods applied to mechanics, mathematical physics and general relativity.
Biography
Francaviglia obtained a degree in Mathematics at
He became full Professor at University of Torino in 1980, when he was 27 years old (the youngest full professor in his discipline).[1] He spent the last years of his life at the University of Calabria, in Arcavacata di Rende.
Besides his scientific activities, Francaviglia was a prominent philatelist. He has been president of the Unione Filatelica Subalpina di Torino,[6] vice-president of the Federazione tra le società filateliche italiane , council member of the Unione stampa filatelica italiana , member of the Royal Philatelic Society London and council member of the Académie européenne de philatélie .[7]
Research
Francaviglia's scientific interests covered a wide range of topics, including the application of
He was author of over 250 papers,[8] three monographs and 11 encyclopaedia long entries, and he supervised 6 PhD students.[9]
He was director of several courses at Centro internazionale matematico estivo ; he organized 20 national and international conferences, among which the 14th World Conference on General Relativity in Florence (1995).[10]
He was member of the Scientific Council of the
Francaviglia was co-founder (1984) and Managing Editor of Journal of Geometry and Physics,[11] Associate Editor of the Journal of General Relativity and Gravitation since 1999 and Managing Editor of the International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics. A special issue of the last journal has published a collection of scientific contributions from several Francaviglia's collaborators,[12] presented in a workshop in his memory two years after his death.[13][14]
