Massimo Guarnieri

Massimo Guarnieri was born near Venice, Italy, in 1955. He received the Laurea (Hons.) in Electrical Engineering from the University of Padua in 1979; the Diploma in Plasma and Thermonuclear Fusion Research in 1982; an MBA from CUOA (Italy) in 1985; and the Ph.D. in Electrical Science from the University of Rome in 1987. He joined the Italian National Research Council in 1982 and the University of Padua in 1983, where he has been a Full Professor of Electrical Engineering since 2000.


For more than twenty years, his research focused on the analysis, design, construction, and operation of electromagnetic systems and power supplies for magnetic-confinement thermonuclear fusion experiments, including Eta-Beta II and RFX. He led the RFX Magnetic System Group, responsible for the device’s major inductive systems (diameters up to 8 m, 50 kA, 200 kV).


 

From Habilis to Steve Jobs: Two Million Years of Technology

This book offers readers a comprehensive view of technological development—extensive in time, as the title suggests, but also expansive in space, unbounded by geography. It is surprising how often the history of technology is overlooked, despite our increasing dependence on it.
