Maria Allegrini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maria Allegrini is an Italian physicist, retired as a professor at the University of Pisa.[1] Her research has concerned nanophotonics and experimental condensed matter physics at the nanoscale with extremely low temperatures achieved by laser cooling.
Allegrini earned a laurea (at the time, the Italian equivalent of a master's degree) in 1969 from the University of Pisa. She continued her studies at the University of Reading in the UK, where she completed a Ph.D. in physics in 1973.[2]
She was a researcher for the Italian National Research Council (CNR) in its Pisa-based Istituto di Fisica Atomica e Molecolare from 1972 until 1988, when she became an associate professor of experimental physics at the University of Pisa. She took a full professorship at the University of Messina in 1994. She returned to the University of Pisa as a full professor in 2000,[2] and remained there until her retirement.
