Raffaele Pisano, Ph.D

SCIENTIFIC AND DIDACTICS CURRICULUM
RAFFAELE PISANO

 

In Brief. Born in 1970, (full) lauream in Physics (University of Naples “Federico II”), with a dissertation history of
thermodynamics: Sadi Carnot’s thermodynamics: a new interpretation based on logics and mathematics. He has a
Ph.D (University of Rome “La Sapienza”) with a research in history of mechanics: The role played by mechanical
science in the architects and engineers design in the Renaissance. He also is multi‐specialized (School of teaching
physics and mathematics specialization, University of Naples “Federico II”), teaching of physics and mathematics. He
teaches history of science as temporary professor at SSIS – University of Udine and physics in Latina (Rome), didactic
of mathematics and history of science in various education courses and P.O.N for teachers and scholars. He also is
"associated to research" in history of science: The science of equilibrium from Middle Ages to Renaissance, Dept. of
Ingegneria Strutturale e Goetecnica, Faculty "Valle Giulia", Università di Roma "La Sapienza". and Post-Doc
Research Fellow at Centre François Viète, Université de Nantes, France.
He was Member of the Italian National council AIF – Association for the teaching of Physics (2005‐08) and currently
he is Member (since 2006) of steering committee of ESHS ‐ European Society for the History of Science. He has been a
member of the Group for the history of science directed by Antonino Drago at Naples, University “Federico II”. He is
member of Editorial Boards of International Journal Of Baltic Science Education. He published papers for international
and national reviews using as interpretation categories the logic and the discovery of mathematics studying history of
the foundations of physical and mathematical sciences.
