Michelangelo Mangano
Dr Michelangelo Mangano is senior theoretical physicist at CERN, the European Centre for Particle Physics. He is co-author of over 350 scientific publications, both in theoretical and in experimental particle physics. His main area of expertise is the dynamics of high-energy particle collisions, and their use for the understanding of elementary particles and for the search and study of the fundamental interactions. As a participant in the CDF experiment at the Fermilab\'s Tevatron accelerator, he was a member of the team that discovered the top quark in 1994. He is constantly engaged in outreach activities, and in 1998 created CERN\'s High School Teachers\' programme, which through the years hosted and trained hundreds of teachers from all over the world.
