Giorgio Benedek

Giorgio Benedek (born 4 February 1941) is an Italian physicist, academic and researcher. He is an Emeritus Professor of Physics of Matter at University of Milano-Bicocca and Director of the International School of Solid State Physics at Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture.

Benedek's original theoretical interest in the dynamics and vibrational response functions of defects in solids has been extended to various research areas regarding low-dimensional systems, like surface dynamics and surface phonon spectroscopy, the topology and physics of cluster-assembled carbon, and the physics of He quantum droplets and solids.

Benedek is emeritus foreign member of the Royal Academy of Belgium, member of the Istituto Lombardo – Accademia di Scienze e Lettere, of the Istituto di Studi Superiori Gerolamo Cardano, a fellow of the European Academy of Sciences, of the European Physical Society, and of the Italian Physical Society.
