Hi! My name is Roberto Triolo and I welcome you to my web site!

I teach at the University of Palermo and I carry out most of my research in cooperation with groups of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) USA, Hahn-Meitner Institut, Berlin (Germany), Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany) and Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) UK, where I perform Neutron and X-ray Scattering. I'd like to introduce myself to you and let you know a little about my research.

I obtained the Laurea in Chemistry from the University of Palermo in 1964 and the Libera Docenza in Electrochemistry from the University of Rome in 1969. I have been teaching at the University of Palermo since 1965 and am presently Full Professor of Physical Chemistry. Most of my research has been carried out in USA at ORNL's W.C. Koehler National Center for Small Angle Scattering Research (NCSASR) & BNL's High Flux Beam Reactor, in UK at RAL's ISIS Pulsed Neutron Source in Germany at Hahn-Meitner Institut, Berlin & at Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany) and in Sweden at the Kungl Tekniska Högskolan (KTH) Royal Institute of Technology . From 1976 to 1981 I worked for the US Department of Energy , and since 1982 I spend at least three months a year cooperating with the Neutron Scattering Group of the NCSASR. During this period, I contributed to the design and construction of the Ultra Small Angle Neutron Scattering (USANS) instrument. I have taught in many International Neutron Schools and since 1988 I have been a member of the Italian National Research Council President's Executive Committee for Neutron Policy and in March 1996, as a member of the Working Group on Large Scale Structures Instrumentation of the European Spallation Source (ESS) , I contributed to the planning of SANS Instruments on future european pulsed neutron sources.


My research interests include:

Statistical Mechanics of Fluid Phases
Structure and Theory of Magmatic Fluids
Self-Assembled Aggregates
Nanophase Separation in Blends and Alloys
Structure and Dynamics of Biological Molecules
Fractals
