Stefano Buono was born in 1966 in Avellino, Italy. He attended high school in Turin, Italy and received his master's degree in physics from the University of Turin in 1991.[2]
Career as physicist
Prior to founding Advanced Accelerator Applications in 2002, Buono worked at the Centre for Advanced Studies, Research and Development or CRS4. During his six years within CRS4, he headed a team of engineers working on different international research projects in the field of energy production and nuclear waste transmutation (Accelerator-Driven Systems). Before joining CRS4 and in parallel to his appointment at CRS4, Buono worked for approximately ten years with physics Nobel laureate Carlo Rubbia at CERN, one of the leading research laboratories for particle physics in the world. During that term, he also actively participated in the development of CERN's Adiabatic Resonance Crossing method.[3]
