Ugo Fano had a major impact in sustained work over six decades on Atomic Physics and Molecular Physics , and earlier on Radiological physics. There's hardly an area of current research in these subjects where he has not made a fundamental contribution. Such profound phenomena as the Fano Resonance Profile , the Fano Factor , the Fano Effect , and the Fano-Lichten Mechanism all bear his name. Ugo Fano earned his doctorate in )). This latter publication is one of the most widely cited article in all of Physics . Fano spent 1936-37 with Werner Heisenberg in Leipzig and immigrated to the United States in 1939 . His initial work in the U.S. was Bacteriophages and pioneered the study of Radiological Physics , specifically the differences in the Biological effects of X-rays and Neutrons . After serving a stint at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds during WWII , he joined the staff of the National Bureau Of Standards and was there until 1966 , when he joined the faculty of Physics at the University Of Chicago . There he trained, until early 1990 s a large body of graduate students who now occupy the leading positions in theoretical Atomic and Molecular Physics in the United States. Ugo Fano was a member of the National Academy Of Sciences , a fellow American Academy Of Arts And Sciences , American Physical Society and the Royal Society . He was awarded the prestigious Presidential Enrico Fermi Award in 1995 . |
