Prof. Piero Chiarelli

Piero Chiarelli received a degree in physics from the University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy, in 1982. Since 1988, he has been a CNR researcher and, since 1998, a professor of the Engineering Faculty at the University of Pisa. He was a visiting associate at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda (USA) and a visiting scientist at the Agency of Industrial Science and Technology of MITI in Tsukuba (Japan), at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Budapest, and at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Dresden. His research interests are the modeling of electro-chemo-mechanics near and far from equilibrium kinetics of bi-phasic materials, the modeling of ultrasonic wave propagation in hydrogels and soft natural tissues from equilibrium kinetics and irreversible dynamics, matter self-assembling, quantum and classical chaos, quantum to classical transition, and quantum gravity. He has 159 papers, publications with 1285 citations, and 19,639 reads (ResearchGate, 24 October 2023) in these areas.
