Guglielmo Maria Lucio TINO
Tino graduated in Physics (110/110 cum laude) in 1987 at Università di Napoli "Federico II" and he received the PhD in Physics (70/70 cum laude) in 1992 at Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa.
He was Researcher and then Associate Professor at Università di Napoli "Federico II".Since 2001 he is Full Professor of Physics of Matter at Università di Firenze.In Firenze, he is leading a research group at the Department of Physics, INFN, and LENS Laboratory.He obtained funding as national and international PI for research projects from MIUR, INFN, EC, INFM, ASI, ESA, INGV, ENI, Tuscany Region, Ente Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze. Several R&D projects have been carried out with industrial partners and financing.In 2015 he founded the start-up AtomSensors s.r.l., a Spin-off of the University of Florence.Inventor for 3 patents.

• RESEARCH ACTIVITYThe research activity, mainly experimental in the field of atomic, molecular, optical and gravitational physics concerned the precision measurements both for fundamental physics tests, and formetrological, geophysical, space applications, and for the technology transfer.In particular, the topics addressed by Tino in his research activity are:- Atom interferometry for gravitational physics experiments.- Frequency metrology and optical atomic clocks.- Cooling and trapping of atoms with laser radiation, BEC, fermionic gases.- Spin effects: search for spin-gravity couplings and test of the spin-statistics connection.- Atomic and molecular spectroscopy with high resolution and sensitivity.- Development of solid state laser sources for precision measurements.- Development of quantum sensors for geophysical and space applications.Recent results of particular relevance are the first precision measurement of the gravitational constant with an atom interferometry sensor, the first test of the Einstein equivalence principle for bosonic and fermionic isotopes of the Sr atom, the realization in Florence of the first optical atomic clock in Italy based on transitions of the Sr atom connected with INRIM by means of a fiber optic link.
