Francesco Calogero

Francesco Calogero

Francesco Calogero (born February 6, 1935) is a distinguished Italian physicist and active in the community of scientists concerned with nuclear disarmamanent.

He is the son of the philosopher Guido Calogero. After his father was sentenced to "national exile" by fascist police, Francesco Calogero spent more than one year (1942) in Scanno, a small italian village. After World War II, Calogero graduated "laurea in fisica" cum laude at University of Rome La Sapienza, on February 1958. He became Professor of Theoretical Physics, in the same university in 1976. Scientific publications in English include three books and over 300 papers. His main research concerns integrable many-body problems. He also formulated the Calogero hypothesis that quantum behavior is caused by stochastic gravitational radiation of a cosmic origin.

Calogero served as the Secretary-General of Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs 1989–1997. He is currently chair of the Pugwash Council. He has published 400 papers and several books on world affairs.

He was a member of the Governing Board of SIPRI 1982–1992.

He accepted the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize, jointly awarded to Pugwash and to Joseph Rotblat (Oslo, 10 December 1995).
