Curriculum

PhD in physics in the field of gravitational waves (LISA), Adele La Rana has been working in history of physics for several years, carrying on three main research activities: history of Italian and European gravitational wave research; a study of Edoardo Amaldi’s archives at Sapienza University; extensive research to accomplish a prosopography of Italian physics (https://www.sif.it/riviste/sif/gdf/fisici-italiani). At the University of Verona she is extending her research to the exploration of possible ways to integrate an historical-scientific approach in physics education and training. She is member of the executive board of the Italian Society for the History of Physics and Astronomy (http://www.sisfa.org/) and of the editorial board of the Italian Physical Society's journal "Giornale di Fisica" (https://www.sif.it/riviste/sif/gdf). She is working with Nobel Laureate Barry Barish on a scientific biography of Edoardo Amaldi.
