RAFFAELE PISANO (Italy, 1970) is a full physicist. He studied at the Federico II Napoli University (Italy) and PhD at the La Sapienza Roma University (Italy). I awarded my Habilis (HDR–Accreditation to Supervise Research) at Philosophy, history of sciences Poincaré centre, Lorraine University, France. I am currently Full Professor, Lille University, France (& additional responsibility as faculty member) and Linus Pauling Memorial Lecturer (ISEPP, Portland State University, USA). I served (2011-2017) as Vice President (2011, elected in Nancy, France) and 2017-2021 (elected, Rio de Janeiro) as President the Inter–Divisional Teaching Commission (DLMPST/IUHPST/DHST). Currently:
