Member <strong>of</strong> PhD juries at the Universities <strong>of</strong> Leiden (1993), Barcellona (1995, 1999, 2003), Stockholm (1995, 2009), Paris (1998, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011), Geneve (1999), Lausanne (2001), Lyon (2004), Göteborg (2005), Berlin (2007, 2010), Leuven (2011), etc. and <strong>of</strong> habilitation juries (Leiden 1993, Stockholm 1998, Göteborg 2004, Paris 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011). Popular science: He has published several articles for the italian version <strong>of</strong> Scientific American. For the Italian Publisher Zanichelli he has published two books, “Idee per diventare scienziato <strong>dei</strong> materiali” (2005) and “Quanto è piccolo il mondo – Sorprese e speranze dalle nanotecnologie” (2007) to popularize materials science and nanotechnology. Research interest: The activity is directed towards surface science and material science problems, with particular emphasis on the properties <strong>of</strong> oxide materials, oxide ultrathin films and metal nanoclusters. Pr<strong>of</strong>. <strong>Pacchioni</strong> has a wide experience in the description <strong>of</strong> defects in oxides and their spectroscopic properties. From the mid ’90s he has been very active in the study <strong>of</strong> small metal clusters and nanoparticles supported on oxide surfaces, their chemical
activity, diffusion and nucleation processes, catalytic properties. Pr<strong>of</strong>. <strong>Pacchioni</strong> has a special expertise in the analysis and interpretation <strong>of</strong> optical, vibrational, and magnetic resonances spectroscopies. In the field <strong>of</strong> supported metal clusters he has given important contributions for the elucidation <strong>of</strong> the reactivity <strong>of</strong> metal nanoclusters on ultra-thin films. About one half <strong>of</strong> the papers produced in the last 10 years are joined experimental-theoretical studies in this field.
