Daniele Davino

Biography

Daniele Davino received the 5 years degree in Electronic Engineering in 1997 at the University Federico II of Napoli, Italy with a 110/110 cum laude degree. The graduation thesis was made at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, with a “technical student” one year grant, on the design, numerical and experimental characterization of a RF resonant cavity study for CLIC accelerator system.

In December 2000 he received the doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering, at the University Federico II of Napoli, Italy, with a thesis on the proof of principle of a compact medical accelerator (LIBO) for the cure of the cancer, in the framework of a collaboration among the INFN, the TERA foundation of Prof. Amaldi, CERN and University of Naples. He was in charge of the electromagnetic modeling of the accelerating cavities, the numerical simulation of them and the experimental laboratory verification.
The first prototype of the accelerator was successfully installed and tested at CERN in 2001 (http://cds.cern.ch/journal/CERNBulletin/2001/04/News%20Articles/44695?ln=en)

From 2001 to 2002 he was at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, NY USA, as research associate, responsible of the analysis and design of electromagnetic devices for the accumulation ring of the Spallation Neutron Source (https://neutrons.ornl.gov/sns), a $4billion project. He developed an innovative model of the extraction kicker magnets, helping to find the solution of a sever problem for the machine operation (doi:10.1103/PhysRevSTAB.14.074401). His activity included both experimental measurements and modeling aspects.

From 2002 to 2004 he was research associate, from 2005 full time researcher, from 2016 Associate Professor and from 2021 Full professor at the Engineering Department of University of Sannio in Benevento, Italy. About teaching activities, he is professor of "Principle of Electric Engineering elements" and "Electromechanical conversion principles" for three and five years degree courses. He has been supervisor of several 3 and 5-years degree thesis. He has been supervisor of research grants of young researchers and PhD students, working on the design and characterization of devices for energy harvesting or sensing or actuation with smart materials as magnetostrictives and magnetic polymeric foams.

He is co-author of more than 100 scientific publications, with more than 40 regular papers on international journals.
He is reviewer for several journals (among them IEEE Trans on Magnetics, IEEE Trans on Mechatronics, IEEE Trans on Industrial Electronics, J. of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, Physica-B Condensed Matter, J. of Applied Physics, Sensors and Actuators A, Smart Materials and Structures, Materials and Design).

About his main scientific skills and interests: the modeling and RF experimental characterization of electromagnetic devices by means of RF Network Analyzers, resonant electromagnetic cavities, particles acceleration cavities.
Mathematical modeling of hysteresis (of magnetic, magneto-elastic and piezo materials) and developing of dedicated numerical codes.
The modeling and experimental characterization of soft and hard magnetic materials, magnetic aspects of nanomaterials, recent magnetoelastic materials, as magnetostrictives, magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMA) and composite magnetic materials.
The design and developing of electronic boards with embedded microprocessors for smart devices.

He is established stable collaborations with several Italian and international institutions. Among them: Brookhaven National lab – USA; CERN-Switzerland; Cairo University, Egypt; Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Science of Czech Republic; Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS), Germany; INRIM-Torino, Italy; CREATE Consortium – Italy; INFN-Italy; INFM-Italy; IMCB-CNR-Italy; IM-CNR- Italy.
